In a medium size saucepan mix the condensed milk, butter and cocoa heating until bubbling stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add in the vanilla.
Whizz together the biscuit and cake crumbs, nuts and raisins and then add into the chocolate mixture. Press into a sponge roll tin and place in the fridge until completely cooled.
Break up the chocolate and place it in a glass bowl with the butter and melt over a pot of hot water on the stove, but don’t let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.
