It’s holiday baking season and that usually means lots and lots of cookies. Cookies everywhere you turn. And so because there’s only so many ways to reinvent the classic holiday cookies we all know and love, I figured the best thing to do this holiday season is to throw in some non-cookie holiday posts into the mix. With that being said, I made these Florentine Rice Cereal Treats. Florentine cookies or biscuits, in case you’re not aware of it, are European lace cookies made of nuts, various candied fruit and sugar melted together with butter and honey. The baked cookies are coated on the bottom with chocolate. They are to die for, and if you’ve never had the pleasure of eating them, then you need to get a hold of some right away. Then after you fall in love with them, like I know you will, you can come back here and try making these cereal treats because they’re a great alternative without all the hassle of the traditional Florentine. Plus, if you’re a fan of rice cereal treats then it’s really the best of both worlds. The fact that these treats don’t require the oven, makes them the perfect holiday recipe to keep in mind because who really has time to be baking a bunch of cookies? Maybe Santa loves European cookies turned rice cereal treats? You never know. Anything is possible.
