baking sheet into 12 x 3-inch log; round top.

firm to the touch and cracked on top. Cool on baking sheet for
10 minutes. Slide log onto cutting board and cut into 18 even
slices. Return to baking sheet cut-side-down. Bake for an additional
10 to 15 minutes or until firm. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
- Place remaining chunks in small, heavy-duty
plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 30 to 45 seconds;
