   Pour the mixture over the puffed rice in a large bowl and fold until every grain is coated.

5. 5

   Press it firmly and evenly into the pan with the back of a spoon, getting right into the corners.

   Spread the chocolate over the top and leave it somewhere cool to set, then lift the slab out and cut it into squares.
