I made this salami with chocolate and biscuits. It seems real!
For the people interested I can give the recipe: Very simple, very good!

Ok.
CHOCOLATE SALAMI

2 whole eggs;
Butter 125 gr.
Bitter cocoa 100 gr.
1/2 glass of rum or other liqueurs.
Dry biscuit (dry biscuits for milk, not too sweet) 250 gr.

Thank you, that will make great Holiday gifts.

Is "bitter cocoa" the unsweetened kind?

What kind of cookies or biscuits do you use?

When you mention "milk", do you use any in the salami?

Sorry for all the questions, but I am the kind of person who follows
recipes and i do not want to go wrong.

Margaret, I doubt you'll find these, even in Manhattan. However, they do
seem to be commonly used (crushed) in Italian desserts. I think an
acceptable equivalent might be British "digestive biscuits", which you
should no trouble finding in some shops.

Yes!!!! The "Digestive Biscuit"!!!! All right! I think they are good fore
this recipe!!! OKAYYYYY!

Quoted message said:

Yes, to eat with milk, even for "dunking".

Yes, also for dunking in tea or milk ! 🙂)))

BTW, Pandora, you're chocolate "salami" is a fantastic looking dessert!
It's very realistic looking.

Also, from the thread on Spaghetti Carbonara, I really like the method you
use for make it. It's one of my favorite dishes.

Cheers!

Thank you, Pandora, I will use either biscotti, the dry, barely sweetened
twice baked Italian cookies that are so popular now or perhaps Petit
Beurre, which are also not very sweet.

you should find an hard biscuit with few fat inside. If you put a butter
biscuit, is possible that pulverize too much because it is too friable. Try
to find hard biscuit like digestive.

Quoted message said:

As for milk, I would not want to substitute it for liqueur. A Grand
Marnier might be good. What do you think, or better yet, what kind do you
use? MS

Grand marnier, perhaps is too sweet, but if you like the taste you can put.
Personally I use Rum or mandarin or tangerin liqueur that we call
"Mandarinetto".
Thank you.
If you have to ask me other things, ask!
Cheers

Yes! You must think that I gave to the father of my boyfriend (because i
knew that he liked salamis) telling him that I brought it during the village
salami's festival. He thought it was a real salami till he finish to cut
it!!!! 🙂))))))))
Ofcourse you must be very able to tie it with strings!
The father of my boyfriend still remember....

Yes! It is also my favourite so I eat Carbonara only in this way.

picture the following...

a double layered chocolate biscuit (or cookie for you US people),
rectangular in shape, approx 7cm long, filled with creamy chocolate filling,
totally coated with chocolate

a cup of good coffee (or tea, or milk, or alcohol, or whatever)

bite off both ends (to expose biscuit)

dip into drink

suck coffee (or whatever) through biscuit, quickly!

stuff biscuit into mouth very quickly, before it either falls apart in your
hand, or worse, into the drink!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-)

Hey, next make a salami that looks like a pile of dog turds.

I love chocolate, love salami too... but somehow find the concept of
creating a chocolate confection that looks like a salami very
unappealing and unappetizing... actually quite gross. I'd not mind a
big milk chocolate breast though... in fact Hershey's makes big milk
chocolate nipples... they call them chocolate bells but ya can't fool
me. How about you Carol, would you like a sandwich from a salami
shaped like a breast... I can imagine the horror on your face as I
begin to slice and you see all those globules of fat interspersed with
ground meat... see those peppercorns, those are tumors. :o

Chocolate salami yer ass... leave it to a dumb dago to come up with
such grotesque filth.

Reminded me of my mom, who died of breast cancer. And Sheldon knows that.
