Serves About 24 pieces Prep 20 min Cook 5 min Total 3 hr 25 min (includes 3 hr fridge)

Ingredients

250 g unsalted butter, chopped
395 g can sweetened condensed milk
2 × 250 g packets sweet plain biscuits (Milk Arrowroot or similar)
30 g (¼ cup) cocoa powder
45 g (½ cup) desiccated coconut
250 g milk chocolate
2 tsp cooking oil

Method

Grease and line a 16 × 26 cm slice pan with baking paper, leaving an overhang.
Melt butter and condensed milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until combined.
Crush biscuits in a bag to a mix of fine crumbs and chunky bits. Add cocoa and coconut; shake to combine.
Stir biscuit mix into the condensed-milk mix until coated. Press firmly into the pan.
Melt chocolate and oil over a pan of simmering water (or short microwave bursts) until smooth. Spread over the slice.
Refrigerate 3 hours until set. Cut into squares.

Tip: Leave some biscuit chunks for the hedgehog look. Oil in the chocolate helps it cut without cracking. Keep chilled in warm weather.
