Big Florentine Cookies

10 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 cups sliced almonds
1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a heavy saucepan, bring butter, sugar, honey, and cream to a rolling boil. Stir in almonds and oats and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until batter thickens slightly and smells of toasted almonds. Take mixture off heat and let cool.

Place 12 (2 1/2-inch) ring molds on a sheet pan lined with parchment or aluminum foil. Spray each ring liberally with non-stick spray. Spoon cooled batter into each ring mold (approximately 2 tablespoons).

Bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes or golden brown around the edges. Melt chocolate chips while allowing cookies to cool, and finish by dipping cookies in melted chocolate.
