Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Line your 18 x 27 cm slice tin with baking paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy lifting later.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 125 g of dark chocolate, 200 g of condensed milk, and 150 g of butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well until melted and smooth.
  3. Crush the arrowroot biscuits in a ziplock bag until fine, then add them along with 1 cup of rice bubbles to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined and transfer into the prepared tin, pressing down firmly.
  4. Melt the remaining 190 g of dark chocolate and 1.5 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a separate bowl in the microwave until silky and smooth. Add 1 tsp of peppermint essence and mix well.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the base in the tin, spreading evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours or until firm. Once set, lift out using the overhanging paper and slice into squares.
