2.
Let the mixture cool slightly. With two teaspoons, form small dough balls spaced about 5 cm apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press them lightly flat and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan‑forced, gas: level 3) for 10–12 minutes until golden yellow.

3.
Remove the hazelnut Florentines from the oven, immediately lift them carefully off the paper with a spatula and place them upside down (bottom up) on a cooling rack. Let cool completely.

4.
Melt the chocolate couverture over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Brush the underside of each Florentine with the melted chocolate and allow to set fully.
