Anzac Day Slice

I usually make Anzac biscuits on Anzac Day, this year I adapted  my Anzacs and made a slightly more indulgent slice with chocolate topping. The slice has all the ingredients that Anzac biscuits have, just a few variations in the the proportions and the same simple melt and mix technique. Keep the washing up to a minimum and use a bowl or saucepan big enough to hold all the ingredients.
