Chocolate Salami
You Will Need:
. chocolate
• apricots
• glace cherries
• raisins
• mini white marshmallows
• icing sugar.
• Get started by breaking up the 200g of chocolate. You can either do this by hand, or by putting it into a polythene bag and giving it a good whack with a rolling pin!
• Once you've broken up the chocolate, you need to melt it. Do this by carefully pouring some recently-boiled water into a bowl. Fill it to about a quarter full.
• Put the broken chocolate into a smaller bowl and place it in the larger bowl. The heat from the water will melt the chocolate, you just have to give it an occasional stir.
• While the chocolate is melting, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients. You need 50g of apricots, 50g of raisins, 50g of glace cherries and 50g of mini white marshmallows.When the chocolate has melted, take it out of the bowl with the water and add in the rest of the ingredients.
• Give the whole thing a thorough stir until everything has been covered by the chocolate!
• Now take some cling film or clear wrap and lie it flat on a chopping board. Now, spoon out the chocolate-covered mixture into a sausage shape on the cling film or clear wrap.
• Fold the cling film or clear wrap up. This will help you to mould the mixture into a sausage shape. Twist the ends and tuck them underneath, then transfer the wrapped mixture into the fridge for about half an hour, until it's cool to the touch.
• When it comes out of the fridge it'll be very firm. Peel off the clear wrap, then dust the sausage in icing sugar to make it look more like salami. Then put it back into the fridge for another four hours.
• All you have to do then is slice and serve!
• For a different - or more realistic - salami, why not try using white chocolate and adding some red food colouring?
