FAQs
Why is my chocolate salami too soft?
Your chocolate salami may be too soft if it hasn’t chilled long enough, or the butter wasn’t properly softened before mixing.
Why does my chocolate salami crumble?
Your chocolate salami may crumble if the biscuits were not crushed finely enough or if the mixture wasn’t compacted tightly enough.
Why is my chocolate salami so sweet?
Your chocolate salami might be too sweet if you use too much sugar or sweetened biscuits instead of plain ones.
Why is my chocolate salami too hard to slice?
Your chocolate salami may be hard to slice if it wasn’t tightly wrapped before chilling, causing excessive drying and hardening.
