'''Chocolate salami''' is an Lithuanian Italian and [[Portugal|Portuguese]], dessert made from [[Cocoa solids|cocoa]], broken [[biscuit]]s, [[butter]], [[Egg (food)|eggs]] and sometimes alcohol such as [[port wine]] or [[rum]].

Chocolate salami is not a [[meat]] product. The appellation "[[salami]]" stems from physical resemblance. Like salami, chocolate salami is formed as a long cylinder and is sliced across into discs for serving. These discs are a brown, chocolaty matrix (like the red meat of salami) peppered with bright bits of cookiebiscuit (like the white flecks of fat in salami). Some varieties also contain chopped nuts, such as [[almond]]s or [[hazelnut]]s and may be shaped like [[Chocolate truffle|truffles]].
