Cut the chocolate into small chunks and quickly work through the mixture, do not over handle or the chocolate will begin the melt.
Place the dough on a small baking tray and press down until it is about 0.5 inches thick
Use a knife to mark into squares. Do not cut all the way through.
Bake in oven for 35 mins. They should be a light golden colour.
Take out, Sprinkle with a little caster sugar and leave to cool.
