Florentine Slice
A very fragrant addition to your gift bags for friends, neighbours or a delicious way to end a lighter festive meal. YAY doterra. Love you.
Citrus and spice essential oils enhance the flavour of this fruit and nuts creation. Coconut and plenty of butter add a chewy texture, while cardamom and cinnamon lend mellow warmth. Glistening jewel-toned dried fruits, nuts and dark and white chocolate paint this dessert in holiday hues! (Bit poetic...its been that sort of a year!) Enjoy.
