Step 2 of 5
Place biscuits in a food processor. Process until finely chopped, being careful not to process too fine.
Step 3 of 5
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, caster sugar, vanilla, ginger, mixed spice and cinnamon until pale and creamy. Add milk. Beat until combined. Add cocoa. Beat until combined. Add in chocolate and biscuit crumbs. Stir until coated and well combined. Stir in nuts. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is slightly firmer.
Step 4 of 5
Divide mixture between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Using plastic as a guide, firmly roll each portion to form a 4x25cm smooth log. Twist ends of plastic to seal. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, until firm.

Remove and discard plastic wrap. Dust chocolate log with icing sugar, rubbing all over to coat. Wrap in baking paper, and tie twine around chocolate log to decorate. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
