24Sep10

From the kids TV show Tastebuds. Kids love this.
Ingredients
3.5 oz / 100 g dark chocolate
3.5 oz / 100 g milk chocolate
3 tbsp / 45 ml butter
2 tbsp / 30 ml honey
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 tsp / 5 ml vanilla
4 lady finger cookies
1/2 cup / 125 ml almonds, chopped, skin
on, toasted
1 cup / 250 ml puffed rice cereal or crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup / 125 ml dried cranberries, raisins or
chopped apricots

Directions
Melt dark chocolate, milk chocolate and
butter in a double boiler. Don’t let
the bowl touch the water. If the heat is
too high it will scorch the chocolate.
When chocolate is melted, stir in honey,
cinnamon, salt and vanilla.
Place lady fingers in a plastic
bag and crush with rolling pin so they
resemble rough coarse crumbs. You need
about 1 cup / 250 ml.
Add lady finger crumbs, almonds, rice
cereal and dried cherries to the
chocolate mix. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
This will make it easier to roll the
mixture.
Place a piece of plastic wrap, then
parchment paper on top, each about 60
inches / 152 cm in length on work
surface. Plop spoonfuls of the chocolate
mixture onto parchment paper, forming a
log shape (about 40-inches x 3-inch/102
cm x 7 cm).
Tightly roll log in plastic wrap so width is
about 2-inches/5 cm. Taper ends so
rounded like a salami. Refrigerate until
set, about 2 to 3 hours.
Cut chocolate salami into 1/2-inch/1.3 cm
slices. Store in refrigerator. Makes about 20 slices.
