Roots to Boots–Cookies with South African flair!

Granny Hannah’s Florentines

 (courtesy of Joan Gremont)

3 cups unsalted peanuts (raw or roasted)

3 cups raisins

   3 cups corn flakes

  ¾ cup glace cherries (red/green), chopped small

   1 can condensed milk

Mix together.  Place in heaps on rice paper and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

 If no rice paper is available, you can use non-stick foil or parchment paper, or even a pan that has been sprayed.  The advantage of the rice paper is that it is edible. You can dip the bottoms in a thin layer of melted chocolate.
