• 13: Pour into the mold, and spread in an even layer, pressing down if necessary.
  Place in the fridge for 2 hours.
• 14: After this time, remove from the mould and cut into small pieces.

Remarks

Be careful when cooking, as the mixture tends to overflow easily, so don't heat too much and keep a close eye on it.
For an even more Canadian touch, use pecans instead.
