Easy Florentines - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups cornflakes
1 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup raisins
3.5 oz roughly chopped red candied cherries
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
5 oz milk chocolate, melted (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
Combine cornflakes, slivered almonds, raisins and candied cherries in a large bowl. Add condensed milk and stir until all ingredients are well coated. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture onto prepared trays, flattening slightly. Bake for 10-12 mins, until light golden brown. Let cool completely on trays.
If desired, spread bases of florentines with melted chocolate, making wavy lines with a fork when almost set. Chill in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
