Ingredients

  • 250g dark chocolate (I used 70%)
  • 90g butter
  • 2 tbsp vanilla vodka (or rum/brandy/amaretto etc.)
  • 130g biscuits, broken into small lumps (I used cinnamon graham crackers)
  • 50g mini marshmallows
  • 50g cranberries
  • 30g apricots
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • Optional: 50g nuts

Directions (Makes 4)

  1. In a heatproof bowl, melt together the butter and chocolate.
  2. Stir the vanilla vodka into the chocolate butter mixture and stir well to combine.
  3. Add the biscuits, fruit and marshmallows and mix well to combine.
  4. Take 4 sheets of cling film. Divide the mixture into 4 and roughly spoon into a log-type shape in the centre of each clingfilm sheet.
  5. Fold the top of the clingfilm over the mixture and using your hands shape into a log of roughly the same thickness throughout. Continue rolling the log towards you until you’ve got to the end of the cling film sheet.
  6. Twist the ends of the clingfilm until you have a tight log. Repeat for the remainder 3 portions.
  7. Place into the fridge for 3-4 hours to set.
  8. Once the logs are firm, un-wrap them and roll in icing sugar, gently rubbing it onto the surface of the log, brush away any excess.
  9. If you want, wrap each chocolate salami in butchers twine (for a more authentic look).
  10. Individually wrap each salami, I used greaseproof paper and tied with more twine/ribbon.
  11. Store in the fridge until ready to eat, or give to someone as a gift.
  12. When ready to serve, remove from the fridge for 20 minutes and cut into slices.


Notes

These will last for 2 weeks stored in the fridge.

You can substitute pretty much anything in this recipe -dried fruit, nuts, biscuits, chocolate, alcohol etc.
