Ingredients
Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
Line two large baking sheets with grease proof paper and place to one side.
Add the non-dairy butter, sugar and maple syrup to a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved into the melted butter.
In the meantime, roughly chop the dried cherries and pecans and add them to a mixing bowl.
Add the flour and salt to the mixing bowl and toss the cherries and nuts in the flour ensuring they are all well coated.
Pour the melted butter and sugar over the cherries and nuts and stir to combine.
Dollop 6 tablespoons of the mix onto each baking sheet, making sure they are well spaced to account for any spreading.
flatten gently (but making sure you don't leave gaps between the cherries and nuts.)
Place the baking trays into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the caramel is bubbling and golden brown.
Leave the florentines to cool completely on the trays.
Once cool, melt the chocolate using your preferred method (over a bowl of hot water or a microwave is fine!)
