Chocolate Salami Without Eggs
Chocolate salami is a traditional Italian no-bake treat, a blend of cookies, dark chocolate, butter, and often eggs that come together to resemble a rustic salami.The Traditional Chocolate salami (with eggs) is one of the most popular desserts in Italy, probably because it's easy to make and because it's a no-bake dessert.However, for those who prefer or need to skip the eggs, whether due to allergies, dietary restrictions, or other reasons, there's a wonderful alternative.
