**Ingredients:**
– 400g dark chocolate

– 200g unsalted butter
– 200g digestive biscuits
– 4 regular-sized Aero Mint chocolate bars
– 1 can condensed milk
– A handful of mint leaves (optional for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the sides for easy removal later on.
2. In a heatproof bowl, break the dark and milk chocolate bars into smaller pieces and add the unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and combined.
3. Crush the digestive biscuits into a mix of fine crumbs and small pieces. You can place them in a Ziploc bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin.
4. Roughly chop the Aero Mint chocolate bars into small chunks.
5. Gradually fold the condensed milk into the melted chocolate-butter mixture until smooth and well blended.
6. Add the crushed digestive biscuits and chopped Aero Mint pieces to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Make sure the surface is level.
8. Place the traybake in the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm to the touch.
9. Once set, remove the traybake from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make cutting easier.
10. Using a sharp knife, cut the traybake into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
11. For an extra touch of freshness, garnish the top of each square with a small mint leaf.
12. Serve and enjoy this indulgent mint Aero traybake with a cup of tea or coffee, or share it with family and friends during gatherings.
