Latin Lace Florentines Recipe
This is a recipe I obtained from an International Dinner party at my friend Jean’s house. This was one of the recipes a guest brought and it was a big hit.

I have a question about these...How hot does the chili powder make them ??


U seem 2 b a gr8 cook, n u'v provd it again with dis yummy recipe!


Hi Momto4: I didn't pick up any heat in this recipe. I read an article several years ago that said if you add cayenne or chili powder to anything chocolate, it is good for you. Tasteless but a great antioxidant with the combination of chocolate, so I'm guessing that is the purpose in this one.


Those look good! I love florentines, didn't realize they were so easy to make.


Oh my goodness. Another great one. Yes indeed, chili or cayenne pepper is good mixed with chocolate and very good for you. Thanks for another 5 post. Dottie T.
