Method
1 Grease an 18cm x 28cm rectangular slice pan. Line base and two sides with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above edges.

3 Roll out dough between two sheets of baking paper into a rectangle, to about 3cm in thickness. Remove top sheet of baking paper. Slide onto an oven tray. Freeze until firm.
4 Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and firm to touch. Remove and stand on tray for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into 3cm pieces.
5 Combine chocolate, syrup, extra butter and liqueur in a saucepan. Stir over a low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
6 Arrange biscuits over base of prepared pan. Pour over chocolate mixture. Smooth over top.
