My tips and tricks
Chocolate salami is the easiest chocolate dessert in the world. How long do you think it will take you to crush so many tea biscuits into little pieces? If you follow my advice, then less than a minute. Take a large zipper bag, put the biscuits in there, place them on the table, evenly distribute the biscuits throughout the bag. Take a rolling pin, lightly pressing down, slide it over the bag several times to make large crumbs. Easy-peasy!
