Bar-One Dessert Topping Log

1. Place the digestive biscuits in a sealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin. You can also use a food processor for this step.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, chopped almonds, and dried cranberries or raisins.

3. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. In a separate bowl, mix the Barone dessert topping, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

5. Pour the melted chocolate and the Barone mixture over the biscuit-almond-cranberry mixture. Stir until everything is well coated and evenly distributed.

6. Prepare a large piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Transfer the chocolate mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log, about 8-10 inches long.

7. Roll the log tightly with the plastic wrap or parchment paper, twisting the ends to secure. Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

8. Once chilled, unwrap the chocolate salami log and transfer it onto a serving plate. If desired, dust the log with powdered sugar to resemble a salami.

9. Using a sharp knife, slice the chocolate salami into rounds of your desired thickness. Serve chilled and enjoy!
