Nutty Clusters are a delicious simplified version of Florentines. They are quick to make, with mostly store cupboard ingredients. I have chosen to use Almonds and cherries as my main ingredients, with the addition of an Amaretto Flavour Shot. You can use any nuts and dried fruit you like! We will also dip the bottom of our Nutty Clusters in dark Melt & Pour.
These would also me great made with peanuts and Banana Split Flavour shot, Or Pistachios with cranberries and Orange Zest Flavour shot. For a festive twist, use cherries, almonds, and a Christmas Punch Flavour Shot. The possibilities are endless!
Take a look at our full range of Flavour Shots! and Melt & Pour.
