Laura's Salted Caramel Florentines
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
A self confessed salted caramel addict, Laura coated her almond, pecan and raisin Florentines in sweet milk chocolate.
Laura: "I chose the chocolate because the biscuits are quite salty. Dark chocolate was too rich, so I chose the milk chocolate as a base. My family, when I've made these, have just absolutely devoured them. "
Judging
Prue Leith: "That's a pretty classic Florentine. Yeah. Snaps quite well."
Paul Hollywood: "I love that for flavors. I think the issue is you want something bitter. If you just kept it to dark chocolate underneath, you would have been on a winner. But otherwise, that's a great florentine."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
