These ruby chocolate florentines are absolutely my favorite treat to make when I want something special without spending hours in the kitchen. The whole process takes just over an hour from start to finish, which makes them perfect for unexpected guests or last minute dessert cravings. I love how the vibrant ruby chocolate pairs with bright orange marmalade and crunchy almonds, creating this wonderful contrast of flavors and textures. Almonds are packed with heart healthy fats and protein, so I feel a little better indulging in these cookies. Best of all, they're surprisingly affordable to make with simple pantry staples, yet they look and taste far more impressive than their modest ingredient list suggests.
