I have just done the middle for the Banoffee pie.
I followed the instructions on the Tin =- the condensed milk tin.
It said to melt the butter with the brown sugar - I used demerera.
I did this then poured in the condensed milk and brought to the boil, and spooned it all out onto the biscuit base.
It is REALLY dark brown... anyways... I just googled it and none of the ones in the pics look that dark... what have I done?

its the sugar. demerera has more molasses in it than brown sugar, hence the colour. Dont worry, just enjoy!"The purpose of Life is to spread and create Happiness" :j0

Yep - you used sugar with a high molasses = brown content. When you next go to the shops you'll see there is a BIG range of 'brown' sugars!
It'll be delicious - but I could come and test it for you;)Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
