Manufacturing Process of Florentines
1. Preparation of Ingredients
-
Almonds, cashews, pistachios or mixed nuts are measured and lightly roasted.
-
Dried fruits (cranberries, raisins, cherries) are chopped.
-
Sugar, butter, cream/glucose, and honey are prepared for caramel.
2. Making the Caramel Base
-
Sugar, butter, and honey/glucose are heated together.
-
Mixture reaches soft-ball to medium caramel stage (approx. 115–120°C).
-
The mixture becomes glossy, thick, and golden.
3. Mixing Nuts & Fruits
-
Roasted nuts and dried fruits are folded into the hot caramel mixture.
-
The mixture becomes sticky and evenly coated.
4. Shaping
-
Small spoonful are dropped onto baking trays lined with silicone sheets.

The mixture naturally spreads, forming thin circles.
-
Shapes can also be created using ring molds for uniform size.
5. Baking

Baked at moderate temperature (150–170°C).

The caramel melts and creates the signature lace-like holes.
-
Edges turn golden brown and crisp.
6. Cooling

They harden naturally as the caramel sets.

Milk chocolate
