Whisk

Saucepan

Crumble tea biscuits into medium size chunks, and place in a bowl.

Place cocoa powder in milk, and whisk until no lumps remain. Add in salt and cinnamon.

In a saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk, and melt in the butter. Add in the cocoa powder mixture.

Allow it to cook, stirring often to combine. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.

Pour chocolate mixture over the cookies and stir to coat evenly. Mix in the dried fruit.

Line a 5"x9" loaf plan with plastic wrap, and pour the mixture. Try to evenly distribute throughout.

Remove from loaf pan, and try to form a cylinder. Place in the refrigerator and cool for about 3-4 hours.

Slice thinly, and serve with fruit if desired.
