Thank you for that Hoida. Sounds so simple.

I usually cheat and buy the "Fiona Polson" peppermint slices !!

I do a cooked version of the base which is maybe a bit crunchier/lighter.

4oz marg
4oz SR Flour
4oz soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2.5 oz crushed cornflakes

Method:
Melt marg, add to dry ingredients and bake in a swiss roll tin at 180c for about 20 minutes. Cool and ice with 8oz icing sugar mixed with 1.5 tbsp of water, half a teasp.of peppermint essence and a little green food colouring if you wish. Cover with chocolate.
