• Method

1. Step 1
   Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Grease and line a 21cm square cake pan and line base with baking paper.
2. Step 2
   For the base: Beat the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl until light and creamy. Stir in the flour, and then mix with your hands until a soft dough forms. Press into the pan and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until pale golden.
3. Step 3
   For the topping: Mix the condensed milk, coconut, dried fruit, pistachios and choc chips. Gently spread over the base. Bake for 15 minutes. Gently remove from oven and push in the mallow bakes, bake a further 10 minutes, or until firm and pale golden. Remove and cool.
4. Step 4
   Melt the chocolate and with the back of a spoon, gently spread it over the top of the slice to cover. Cool completely until the chocolate has set. Trim the edges and cut into 4 lines, then cut each line into 5 to make 20 squares. Store in the refrigerator.
