Milk Chocolate Salami

This whimsical Italian dessert looks like a salami – but it’s actually chocolate. Christian has teamed up with master chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt to create this party-ready treat: freshly baked shortbread cookies combined with silky milk chocolate ganache, enhanced with a hint of espresso, and packed with a generous mix of fun, delicious ingredients including chewy caramel pieces, potato chips, Oreos, dehydrated marshmallows, and pretzels. The mixture is rolled into a salami-shaped log and dusted with powdered sugar. It’s designed to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer and sliced as needed—perfect for entertaining guests or pairing with after-dinner coffee.
