- 400g sweetened condensed milk
- 100g light brown sugar
- 120g dark chocolate

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch square baking tin.
- Crush the digestive biscuits into crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the tin to form a sturdy base.
