Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter, sugar, and honey together in a saucepan set over a low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, mango and pecans. Mix until smooth. 2 Drop dessertspoonfuls of the mixture, quite widely spaced, onto baking sheets lined with nonstick baking paper. Spread into thinnish rounds using the back of a spoon, leaving space for them to spread. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, ensuring the biscuits do not burn. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then use a palette knife to carefully transfer the biscuits to a wire rack. Leave to cool completely. 3 Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. When the florentines are cool, dip each one into the melted chocolate to half cover.
