  5. Break the chocolate into a bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
  6. Pour the chocolate over the cooled caramel and chill for 30 mins. Remove from the tin using the paper and cut into finger slices.
