What´s Chocolate Salame? Chocolate Salame is a Portuguese dessert made from cocoa, biscuits, and a bit of port wine or rum. Some varieties also contain chopped nuts, such as almonds, or hazelnuts and may be shaped like truffles. In Portugal, they are typically made using Marie Cookies. But, since Marie Cookies are not vegan, I used Tostadas Cookies. If you are having trouble finding vegan substitutes for Marie Cookies, you can use digestive cookies.
