Favourite dessert of all times and all nations. It is easy to prepare, does not require an oven. It can be stored in the freezer for a long time, waiting for its moment. Children like it very much because it looks like salami, but in fact it is sweet. It’s easy to share. It looks beautiful on a plate. It is both soft and crunchy. For those who love chocolate. And, perhaps, the only drawback in this dessert is that it ends quickly.

My tips and tricks:
Chocolate salami is the easiest chocolate dessert in the world. How long do you think it will take you to crush so many tea biscuits into little pieces? If you follow my advice, then less than a minute. Take a large zipper bag, put the biscuits in there, place them on the table, evenly distribute the biscuits throughout the bag. Take a rolling pin, lightly pressing down, slide it over the bag several times to make large crumbs. Easy-peasy!
