Chocolate salami is the no-bake log of melted chocolate and crushed cookies rolled up and chilled until you can slice it. I use a rough chop so the pieces look like the fat in the real thing.
With simple ingredients and no baking required, this recipe is an excellent way to enjoy a classic Italian dessert that can be easily made at home.
