    I would hope that the person who wrote the recipe will change the Almonds to "SLIVERED" which are sliced as opposed to what a snake does which is "SLITHERS". A small point I know but it really annoys me because the mispronounciation is becoming the norm.

    I am all for Harry Potter but I am not eating anything that "slithers" I would hope the people that type out the recipes will change the almonds to "slivered" as in sliced. We are still an english speaking people

    Try adding a teaspoon of baking soda/bi-carb of soda. I found this hardened them up more

    I was told once that florentines need to be made in Autumn / Winter in order for them to crisp up. They don't work so well in hot humid climates.
