Crush the cornflakes. We were lazy and blasted them in a foodprocessor.Mix the cornflakes, the flour, brown sugar and cocoa powdertogether.Melt the margarine and mix it into the dry ingredients.Spread it flat in a baking tin (the one we used was 24cm wideby 24cm long) to make the biscuit base.Cook at 180°C for 20 minutes, then leave to cool.Mix the icing sugar, peppermint essence, green food colouringand water.Spread evenly across the biscuit base. We used two forks anda bit of patience as the mixture is quite sticky!Melt the chocolate in a bowl (we did this by putting it in themicrowave for 1½ minutes and giving it a good stir).Use a knife to spread the chocolate evenly over the top.10. Put in the fridge so that the chocolate sets.Top tip:•As the chocolate begins to set (about ten minutes in) we dividedup the slices by scoring deep marks into chocolate with a knife.This made it much easier to cut them when the chocolatehardened, and prevented the chocolatey top from shattering!Tenga cuidado con las vistas y con la miel, qué mañana le puede pasar a usted.
