Melt six tablespoons of butter, then toss the butter and the Oreo cookies into a food processor. Blend until cookies are a fine crumble.

Add the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, golden syrup, and a little bit of butter to a saucepan, then cook and stir for about 12 minutes or until a creamy mixture forms.
