  • To a microwaveable mixing bowl, add the butter and melt in the microwave at 30 second increments. Once melted, mix in the peanut butter until smooth. Mix in the icing sugar then mix in the crushed digestives. Transfer the mixture to lined baking tin and use a palette knife to spread and smooth the mixture in the tin.
