• 200 g of dry biscuits (such as Digestive or similar)

• 100 g of sugar
• 100 g of dark chocolate
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons of bitter cocoa powder
• Preparation of biscuits :
  • Crumble the dry biscuits into a large bowl, leaving a few larger pieces to give the chocolate salami a crunchy texture.
  • Suggestions:
  • Variations : You can add chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds or dried fruit to the mixture to enrich the flavor and texture of the chocolate salami.
  • Storage : Chocolate salami keeps well in the refrigerator for several days, wrapped in cling film.
