Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and peanut butter are found in the baking or international aisle of major supermarkets like Coles or Woolworths. Digestive biscuits or similar plain sweet biscuits are readily available in the biscuit aisle. Use smooth peanut butter for best results.
Preparation method
- Pulse the biscuits in a food processor until they form a fine crumb.

- Gradually incorporate the peanut butter into the mixer bowl, continuing to beat until smooth.
- Remove the mixture from the mixer and transfer it into a large mixing bowl.
- Gradually fold in the biscuit crumbs. Knead the mixture thoroughly by hand until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough is pliable.
- Transfer the dough into a rectangular glass dish or brownie tin, pressing it down firmly.
- Refrigerate the mixture overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to ensure it sets properly.
- Slice the firm block into small, bite-sized squares before serving.
