Melt the honey, butter and sugar together gently, then add the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate. Stir really well.
Now tip the mixture out onto a large baking tray (at least 30x20 cm) lined with greaseproof paper and spread it out (see note below). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the mixture turns a rich golden brown, then set aside to cool.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave in 30-second intervals or in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, then spread it over the tray bake. Let it cool.
When cool, stamp out heart and star-shapes (or whichever shapes you like) using a good quality metal cookie cutter. Present to your beloved partner, family or friends!
Notes
Adapted from this recipe from BBC Good Food.My baking tray was about 30x20 cm, but for thinner, more Florentine-like shapes, use a larger tray (about 40x30cm).When you melt your chocolate, reserve 2 or 3 squares and add them in at the end. This is a ‘cheat’s way’ to temper your chocolate and stop it from crystallising when it sets.Even with a good sharp cookie cutter, you might find it quite tough to cut out the shapes. Put a tea towel between your fingers and the cutter if the cutter hurts your fingers.
