# Instructions:
01 -
Line a loaf, square, or small round cake pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix crushed wafer cookies, crushed wafer rolls, and cornflakes or rice cereal. Maintain variation in chunk sizes for texture contrast.
03 -
Gently melt semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and butter over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in sweetened condensed milk, then remove from heat and incorporate vanilla and salt until glossy and pourable.
04 -
Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the crunchy ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula, ensuring even coating without crushing the pieces.
05 -
Transfer the coated mixture into the lined pan. Press firmly and evenly using a spatula or spoon back to ensure tight packing for clean slices.
06 -
Warm heavy cream until steaming without boiling. Pour over semi-sweet chocolate and let stand 1–2 minutes. Stir until smooth, add butter if desired, then spread over the pressed base.
07 -
Refrigerate the assembled dessert for 2 to 4 hours until firm. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. Remove from pan using parchment overhang and slice with a sharp knife.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a loaf pan for thicker slices, or a square pan for bar-style pieces. Keep chunks varied to retain appealing crunch.
