Chocolate Salami

This chocolate ‘saucisson’ falls somewhere between a ganache and rocky road, and can be adapted endlessly to suit your taste and the ingredients you have to hand. You can spice it up with chilli flakes, add whole pine nuts, use dark or milk chocolate, or add dried fruits such as raisins and cranberries. It makes a perfect gift for Christmas or any other time, and you can have fun making a customised paper sleeve for it.
