I had to share this as it's to die for! In the UK, digestive biscuits are sweet wholemeal biscuits. I'm not sure if they are available elsewhere. I used the SuperCook, Fairtrade dark chocolate (85%). It's better spread quite thinly to get a nice crunchy layer on top, so i would recommend using 225g.
