Say, “Salami” here in Portugal and the first thing that comes to mind is chocolate - “Chocolate

Salami”. In most cultures, salami is something salty and smoked, but here we love our sweets so
much we’ve even made one out of chocolate, what else?! If you’ve visited Portugal before, you
may have seen these delicious treats in bakeries.

Commercial versions are usually wrapped in foil, quite thick and large, more like a slice of cake
than anything resembling an actual salami. And in some places you’ll find them coated with sugar
— what can we say, other than, Portuguese like their sweets, really sweet.

The semi sweet chocolate, roasted almonds and Port help give this recipe a more balanced
sweetness, but if you like your sweets really sweet you can substitute the semi sweet chocolate
with a sweeter dark chocolate.
