Ingredients

4 oz (100g) plain chocolate
2 oz (50g) butter
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 lb (450g) icing sugar, sieved

Method
  1. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it with the butter over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave.
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and vanilla.
  3. Gradually beat in the icing sugar (the mixture gets very stiff towards the end, so expect your arm to ache a bit afterwards!)
  4. Press into a greased 7" square tin, levelling the surface.
  5. Refrigerate overnight then cut into 36 squares. Keep refrigerated.
Enjoy :-)

Try to share it with your family though.... ;-)
