Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Line an 18 x 27 cm slice tin with baking paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate, condensed milk, and butter. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval until silky smooth.
  3. Pour the chocolate mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add finely crushed arrowroot biscuits and rice bubbles, mixing thoroughly. Press the mixture evenly into the lined tin.
  4. Melt remaining dark chocolate with vegetable oil in a clean bowl until smooth. Add peppermint essence, adjusting thickness with more oil if needed.
  5. Pour the chocolate topping over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
