When I lived in Portugal I would buy one of these from the grocery store every week

This chocolate “salami” recipe is a fun and delicious treat that’s perfect for parties or holidays. It’s made with crushed cookies, toasted walnuts, and a rich chocolate mixture, and it’s surprisingly easy to prepare.

Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Maria’s cookies, crushed 2 packages (4.9 oz)
Walnuts, finely chopped and toasted 1 cup
Chocolate chips 2 cups
Heavy cream 1 cup
Butter, cubed 1/3 cup
Powdered sugar, for dusting 1/3 cup
Instructions:
Prepare Cookies: Crush Maria’s cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Toast Walnuts: In a dry skillet, toast finely chopped walnuts over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Melt Chocolate: In a saucepan, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and cubed butter over low heat. Stir constantly until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.

Combine Ingredients: Remove chocolate mixture from the heat and stir in crushed cookies and toasted walnuts until well combined.
Shape Salami: Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and transfer chocolate mixture onto it. Shape mixture into a log or salami shape, using the plastic wrap to help roll it tightly. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to seal the log securely.
Chill and Set: Refrigerate chocolate salami for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.
Finish and Serve: Unwrap chocolate salami and roll in powdered sugar to coat evenly. Slice salami into rounds and serve.
