  8. Press the mixture firmly into the slice tin.
  9. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until slightly golden and firm to the touch. 
  10. Allow to cool in the tray. 
  11. Drizzle over the dark chocolate.
Notes
This slice is not overly sweet. It will stay soft as it has a similar texture to a dense banana bread.
