I make them dairy free as well by using Nuttelex instead of butter. I love florentines and was looking for a way to make them without using condensed milk.

I've had lots of running around trying to sort out my shoulder issues with surgeons and such at the moment. I'm glad you like the pretty little bites of crunchiness, but I had to hide mine- from me! As they were becoming a fixture with my after dinner cuppa every night. Too many goodies do not help with my diet. I am determined to be a bit fitter despite having m clipped wings. The surgeon described me as 'Plump' in his report, and he was being kind :) Here's too eating good things- moderately though :(<br /><br />Ista- Me too! I get all dry mouthed and shaky- and cranky and fighty too if I have too much. I just stick to weak decaff instead and I (and everyone else) am much happier :) Let me know how they go!<br /><br />Lorraine- They would be great for Christmas, especially tarted up with some fancy-pantsy glace fruits for style! :)<br /><br />Winston- They give them such a great crunch don't they? Really easy to make as well, but don't tell anyone! :)<br /><br />QuayPo- You should just for something different for a change. I think most people like to dabble in both as well :)<br /><br />Ina- Thanks! We still have customers who come in asking for a 'Cup-of-chino' instead of a cappuccino!<br /><br />Chopinandmysaucepan- But what about 7am in the morning, what do you do then? :)<br /><br />Tori- Great idea with the deconstructed goodies! Sometimes you just have to give in to the cravings though, let me know how they go.<br /><br />Lisa- Thanks! I'm sure Baby BBB loves them too :)<br /><br />Nic- You could certainly swap out the cherries with something that you like more. I feel much more comfortable if they're all the same size :)<br /><br />GourmetGetaways- Thanks! I like uniformity, the customers don't always understand that the product is the same weight and volume regardless if one is slightly smaller than the other. And it makes me feel better too :)<br /><br />Cityhippyfarmgirl- You may cetainly have them all, we pass no judgements here :)<br /><br />Heidi- I crave texture more than flavour sometimes, and I just need that satisfying CRUUNNCCHHH! I wish we had the same coffee culture here that you guys have in Melbourne... maybe someday when Canberra grows up a little bit?<br /><br />Msihua- You sure you don't take that rock around with you like a turtle shell? You manage to still get to a lot of awesome restaurants to eat under that rock :)<br /><br />Spice- I love a nice cup of (decaf)coffee in winter as it seems to stick-to-my-ribs more than tea, otherwise tea all day.<br /><br />Jas- You can just leave out the nuts and add extra gf cornflakes- they would be like awesome Honey Joys perhaps?<br /><br />Emma- I enjoy red teas, and love Licorice Legs <br />tea too. Same with me and the cafes- I used to take my own tea to work and get laughed at as we sold so many!<br /><br />Tigerfish- As soon as I get up I call out "Tea Me" and the kettle goes on right away. My kiddies have been trained well :)<br /><br />Yasmeen- My favourite are the cherries! Coffee is the perfect choice :)<br /><br />JasmyneTea- They're very sweet! I have a snazzy De Longhi machine that we won as a prize and has to sit on the bench as it's huge, but it sadly gets much less use than the tea kettle :)<br /><br />Cassandra- Anything miniature is just so much cuter, and that way you feel justified in eating a handful too :)<br /><br />Amanda- I don't like silicon myself, I find that baked goods sweat a lot more in them, but sugary ones like this that set just popped out with no problem or greasing at all.<br /><br />Celia- I don't think self-hypnosis works, at least it doesn't for me, or I would be a lot slimmer! You'll just have to make and scoff some and get the craving out of your system for a while :)The InTolerant Chef ™https://www.blogger.com/profile/11398350955819175899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253154877742304495.post-40990490815235328002011-10-24T09:15:51.958+11:002011-10-24T09:15:51.958+11:00Please stop.

These are one of my all-time favourite treat, and you are undoing my self-hypnosis to not eat them every day! :)<br /><br />My faves are held together with a kind of toffee glue and topped with dark chocolate, but I would happily scoff several of your delicious version!<br /><br />Too late.
