Allow me to share the recipe from cookeatshare.com:
Ingredients:

• 1 package of plain vanilla cookies (2 hand fulls)
• 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 3 Tbs Cocoa (good quality cocoa is really important)
• 7 Tbs melted Butter
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup of sugar

Directions

1. Take the cookies and break them into small pieces.
2. Cut walnuts or pecans into small pieces.
3. In a small, non-stick pot add cocoa and sugar and mix together. Add egg and melted butter. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 3-4 minutes, add the crushed cookies and nuts, mix well. The mixture should be thick.
4. Take parchment paper, and cut into a rectangle, just enough for the mixture to fit. Take a piece of butter and rub the top of the parchment paper (this prevents the mixture from sticking to the paper).
5. Add the mixture from the pot on to the parchment paper and roll it in the form of a sausage. Twist the ends so that it holds its shape.
6. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving. Once ready to serve, slice it like salami and enjoy!

This Chocolate Salami is also great for home made presents for your family and friends. Enjoy and indulge!
