BASE:

1. Grease and line slice pan with non-stick baking paper

3. Place slice into refrigerator to cool completely before cutting into small squares

NOTE: Chocolate topping can be melted together in a microwave in 15 second bursts, stirring between each heating, or in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler technique – link to a step-by-step to come soon).
