Ingredients

250 gram malt biscuits

125 gram butter, melted

200 gram dark chocolate, roughly chopped

100 gram destalked dried figs, roughly chopped

100 gram dried peaches, roughly chopped

1/4 cup crystallised ginger, thinly sliced

70 gram pecans, roughly chopped

1 1/2 cup shredded coconut

395 gram can sweetened condensed milk

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line the base and sides of an 18cm x 28cm baking pan with baking paper.

2.Place the biscuits in a food processor and process to form crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. Press the biscuit mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the prepared pan.

3.Top the base with a layer of chopped chocolate. Then sprinkle over the figs and peaches, followed by the ginger, pecans and coconut.

4.Pour over the condensed milk as evenly as you can, using the point of a sharp knife to poke the slice in a few places so the condensed milk seeps through the layers.

5.Bake for about 25 minutes in the preheated oven until golden. Leave to cool in the pan and chill for a while before slicing into small bars or squares.
