Yesterday me and my son made a chocolate salame. It's really easy and your children can help you as long as you supervise them, specially when melting the butter.
I do have a proper recipe somewhere but I never follow it. Here's my way of doing it:
1 - Wash your hands really well. Then get a packet of rich tea biscuits and crush them inside a big bowl.
2 - Add a few spoonfuls of chocolate powder. 3 or 4 should be enough for a packet of biscuits but it depends on how chocolaty you want it to be.
3 - Add the melted butter. About half a wooden spoon. If the butter is too hot wait a little bit before you start mixing it with your hands.
4 - Add a whole egg.
5 - Mix everything really well.
6 - You'll get something like this.
7 - See if you can mould it into a sausage shape.
8 - Cut a piece of kitchen foil and place on your work top. Place the chocolate salame in the middle of the kitchen foil.
9 - Wrap it and roll it with your hands squeazing it gently at the same time. Tap each end slightly to flatten them. You should get something like this.
10 - Place the chocolate salame still wraped up in the kitchen foil in the fridge.
This is what it looks like when you slice it.
Tips:
* You can add a little sugar to the mixture if you want to but the biscuits and the chocolate are already sweet enough so don't add too much.
*You can also add a little bit of Port, either add it to the mixture or sprinkle the kitchen foil with it before wrapping the salame.
*For birthday parties, mould the mixture into balls. Melt some chocolate and cover them and sprinkle with sugar decorations. Place in small baking cases. The children will love them.
* If you find the misture is a little too sticky, crush some more biscuits and mix well.
Enjoy
