Line a square 8 X 8 inch baking tin with baking paper, leaving an over hang on two sides. This makes it easy to lift the slice once it is set.
Lightly crush the biscuits in a range of sizes. Some large and small chunks are OK.

Add the crushed biscuits, desiccated coconut , cocoa powder and cornflakes ( or any other mix-ins ) to the melted chocolate mixture and mix well until everything is coated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin . Flatten and smoothen with a spatula . Refrigerate while you prepare the topping.
To make the topping :
Chop milk and dark chocolate roughly into small chunks .
Melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a heat proof bowl in a microwave in 20 seconds bursts until melted.
Mix well , pour over the biscuit base and spread evenly. Gently tap the tin a few times to help get out any air bubbles.
Place in the fridge for 3 hours to set.
Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before you want to slice to soften the chocolate topping slightly.
Use the overhanging baking paper to remove the slice from the tin . Using a sharp knife , cut into squares.
Store in fridge in an air tight container. Enjoy!
