How to Make the Recipe

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Once the mixture is ready, form small rectangular shapes (like little bars) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. While the bars are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Once the bars are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the parchment paper.
  7. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for a quicker result.
  8. Enjoy your homemade Tim Tam no Brasil!
