No-Bake Choc Peppermint Slice

*christie's Note:

My friend Stace made this for me one night and it is SO good. It was really good when she first made it and brought it over but it was even better the next day after being stored in the fridge overnight. Cooking time is chilling time. This can be made and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if it lasts that long)
