Method
- Preheat oven to 180* C (350* F) Fan.
- Line a 25x35 cm baking pan with aluminum foil and parchment paper.
- Line the bottom of the pan with a layer of crackers.
- In a pot, add the butter, sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Place over medium heat.
- Stir continuously for 3 minutes with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts and turns to caramel.
- As soon as the first bubbles appear, cook for another 3 minutes, remove from heat and immediately pour over the crackers. Spread with a spatula while the caramel is still hot.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes.
- When ready, remove from oven and add the finely chopped couverture, making sure it completely coats the whole surface of the caramel.
- Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the couverture to melt and spread with a spoon.
- Sprinkle with toasted almond slivers and set aside to cool.
- Break up the Florentines into uneven pieces with your hands and serve.
