We had to make some modifications in this one. Took out the orange (as miss 9 doesn’t like orange). Switched hazelnuts for pecans and used 3 Tbsp choc chips instead of coco nibs. Unfortunately didn’t use the right size pan so the recipe didn’t actually set. We ended up making them into biscuits and baking again (same time same temperature) and they set 2nd go. They are pretty delicious as biscuits taste a bit like florentines.
