Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by lining an 18 x 27 cm slice tin with baking paper, ensuring it covers the base and sides for easy removal later.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 125g of dark chocolate, 200g of condensed milk, and 150g of butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add crushed arrowroot biscuits and 1 cup of rice bubbles, mixing until well combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the lined slice tin, spreading it evenly and pressing down firmly to create a solid base.
  5. In a clean bowl, add 190g of dark chocolate and 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Microwave until melted and smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint essence.
  6. Pour the melted topping over the pressed base in the tin and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled slice for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
