Ingredients
- 3½ ounces good quality dark chocolate (melted)
- ¼ cup milk
- 7 tablespoons butter soft*
- 2 cups broken social tea biscuits
- ¼ cup sugar fine
- ¼ cup unsweetened dutch processed cocoa (sifted)
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup finely chopped almonds (optional)
*If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Be sure to use a good quality butter, apparently this year 2022, store brand butter quality is not what it used to be. Less fat could mean a dry not so tasty cookie.
EXTRAS
- ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- If using almonds (or other nuts the toast them first before chopping). Place the nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking / cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until they are slightly golden, remove immediately from the pan to a clean bowl to cool, then finely chop.
- Melt the chocolate, milk and butter until smooth, either in the microwave or bain-marie.
- Break the cookies into small pieces and place in a large bowl, add the sifted cocoa, sugar, salt and chopped nuts to the bowl and combine.
- Add the the melted chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine well. If you find the mixture too dry then add a bit more milk (warm) to bring it together.
- On a large piece of parchment paper place the mixture and roll into a log shape approximately 11-12 inches (30-31 cm) , wrap with the paper and refrigerate approximately 2-3 hours or overnight. Before serving, roll in the powdered sugar. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer you can substitute the almonds with chopped walnuts, hazelnuts or even pistachios.
- If you wish to add alcohol, then I think rum, brandy or even an orange liqueur would be good choices. Probably a tablespoon or two would be enough, it would be substituted for the milk. You could also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you wish.
- If you prefer you can use milk chocolate or a combination of both milk and dark chocolate if you prefer. Just be sure to use a good quality chocolate.
- The salami should be wrapped well and stored in the fridge, it will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze the chocolate salami or individual slices, wrapped well in plastic wrap or foil and place in a freezer bag. It will keep for up to three months in the freezer. Be sure to leave it at room temperature for 20 minutes or so for easier slicing.
