3. 3

   Line a swiss roll or jelly roll tin with parchment paper

5. 5

   Put the buttercream in a large mixing bowl.

6. 6

   You can make your own if you prefer but make it quite stiff.

7. 7

   I would use 350g/12oz butter (gold foil wrapped Stork block margarine is dairy & soy-free) to 675g/1.5lbs powdered sugar if I was making my own for this

8. 8

   Mix in the mint extract and a little gel green to make the buttercream a pale pastel green colour

   Melt the broken chocolate in a microwaveable bowl on high in 30 second increments until done or over a bain marie on the stove

    Spoon the mixture over the cookie crumb base and smooth over the top with a wet spoon
