    Pulse the cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top and gently spread it to the edges with the back of a spoon.
