Instructions

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang.
Place the biscuits in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin into pea-size chunks with some larger bits for texture. Tip into a large bowl and stir in the cocoa and coconut.
Melt the butter, base chocolate and condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until completely smooth. Do not boil.
Pour over the dry mixture and stir until every piece is coated.
Press firmly into the pan with the back of a spoon to make a level layer.
Melt the topping chocolate with the oil in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth, and spread over the base.
Refrigerate 2 hours until firm, then lift out and cut into 16 bars with a warm knife.

Tips

Press the base firmly or the bars crumble.
Use full-fat condensed milk for the best set.
Add chopped nuts if you like.
Good with tea.
