Instructions
Conventional Method
Grease and line a 18X28cm rectangular slice tin with baking paper and set aside.
Crush the biscuits in a food processor (it's fine for there to still be a few bigger chunks) and set aside in a bowl.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the cocoa powder, condensed milk, butter and Caramello chocolate on 50% power in 30 second bursts until just melted (stir every 30 seconds).
Pour warm chocolate mixture onto the biscuits and mix well.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly and then stir through the Maltesers.
Press the mixture into the prepared tin (it will be very thick and sticky).
Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power until just melted (stirring every 30 seconds).
Pour the chocolate over the top of the slice and place into the fridge to set (optionally decorate with extra Maltesers).
Allow the slice to come to room temperature before cutting into slices (see notes).
Thermomix Method

Notes
The recipe uses approximately ¾ of a 395g tin of condensed milk - if your mixture is a little too dry, add a small amount more. Allowing the slice to come to room temperature before cutting will help to prevent the chocolate from cracking.
