Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over hot water and spread over the mixture, making sure that you take it up to the edges.

Chef's Tips
Although the recipe states butter OR margerine, they taste infinitely better when made with butter and although you can use cooking chocolate on the top, for the full monty, there is nothing to beat Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate spread over the top!
This instantly takes me back to my childhood, visits to my Aunty Gwen in her house in Conwy (North Wales) and being spoiled whilst sitting by a roaring fire.
This was blissfully in the days before cholestrol. calories and caring about them!
