Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a rectangular baking tin (approximately 8x10 inches) with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together until pale and slightly frothy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, then gently fold into the mixture until no clumps remain.
Stir in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread evenly with a spatula.
Scatter the candy-coated chocolates over the top of the batter, pressing some slightly into the surface to create a polka-dot effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the slice to cool completely in the tin before lifting it out using the parchment paper and cutting it into 12 even slices.
Serve and enjoy your cheerful Polka Dot Slice!
