Chocolate Salami

"This is a chocolate treat that looks like a salami -- bizarre, I know, but kind of fun! And great for kids because you can slice off a bit to put in their lunch boxes or to serve after school every day for a few days, as needed. There's hardly any cooking time in this recipe, but you will need to allow for the "sausage" to chill."

directions

  • Cut the chocolate into very small pieces and melt in a pan over very low heat with the cream and the butter.
  • Meanwhile, put the almonds and cookies into a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin or empty wine bottle.
  • Stir the crumbled almonds and biscuits into the melted chocolate.
  • Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Spoon into the centre of a large piece of clingfilm or wax paper.
  • Shape into a sausage and chill for at least four hours.
  • Just before serving, dust the sausage with icing sugar.
  • This gives it a"skin" look which won't last long but is fun.
  • Keep chilled and slice as needed over a few days.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
