Ingredients

5 Aero Mint Chocolate Bars (41 grams each)
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups digestive biscuits, crushed
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Fold the parchment paper so that it fits snugly in the pan. I use two sheets – one folded to fit the length of the pan and another folded to fit across the pan. Allow the excess parchment paper to hang out over the side of the pan. Once the confection is firm, use the excess parchment to lift the whole block out of the pan to make it easy to cut into squares.
Transfer the digestive biscuits to a food processor and pulse until you are left with some crumbs, but some larger pieces too. The larger pieces should be about the size of a pea or pencil eraser. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
Add the butter, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and one of the Aero Mint Chocolate Bars to a large saucepan. Over low heat, stir and melt these ingredients together until smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
While the chocolate mixture cools, roughly chop two of the Aero Mint Chocolate Bars. Transfer them into the mixing bowl with the crushed biscuits. Stir to combine.
Once the chocolate mixture is cooled, pour it into the mixing bowl with the biscuits and chopped chocolate. Use a spatula to stir, combining well.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it in so that you have a very flat, firm layer. Set it in your fridge to set for 15 minutes.
While the squares chill, roughly chop the remaining two bars of Aero Mint Chocolates. Set aside.
Once the squares are chilled, place the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at half power in 30-second increments, stirring well between each increment until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Pour the melted milk chocolate over the chilled base and spread it out to an even layer.
Top with the chopped Aero Mint Chocolate Bars.
Transfer to the fridge for one hour before cutting into squares.
Package and a food-safe container and keep refrigerated.
