FLORENTINES
(Yield: 2 dozen)

6 tablespoons butter or margarine
½ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup sliced almonds
½ cup chopped mixed candied fruit
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup semisweet sweet chocolate morsels
2 tablespoons shortening

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Spray cookie sheets with non-stick vegetable spray.

In a medium saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and honey.  Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat.  Stir in almonds, candied fruits, and flour.  Drop by tablespoonfuls, 3-inches apart, on prepared cookie sheets.  Using the back of the spoon, spread the batter into 3-inch circles.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.  Cool 1 minutes.  Remove from cookie sheets to waxed paper.

In a small, heavy saucepan, heat chocolate morsels and shortening over low heat until melted, stirring occasionally.  Evenly spread the bottom of each cookie with 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture.
