Italy is where you'll find Florentine biscuits served in most homes. The Italian mamma I lived with for a while always had a tempting jar on hand. This slice is a quick and easy interpretation of the biscuits, which will impress your guests. Let them break into it themselves. Just put it on the table with a strong coffee or cuppa for afternoon tea so they can nibble away. Makes 25 pieces approx.
