Directions
- 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
- 2
Cook until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pan, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 3
Add the broken biscuit pieces to the hot chocolate mixture and stir well to coat every piece evenly.

Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered baking dish and spread into an even layer. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use a variety of biscuits for different textures. Keep pieces chunky — they should stay visible in the final bar for the classic look and crunch.
