200 g dark chocolate (look for one without added sugar)

Directions
- Place 15 bun cake cases on a board or plate.
- Melt 200g dark chocolate.
- When the chocolate has almost melted add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 2 tablespoons vegetable spread. Continue heating until combined. Try not to stir too much.
