The recipe, conceived by food blogger Grace, has combined the powerful flavors of dark chocolate, castrr sugar, dark rum, unsweetened cocoa, tea biscuits, toasted almonds, [hazelnuts and pistachios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amoretti-pistachio-cream) to create the Salame al Cioccolato. With no baking involved, Grace's recipe is a twist on a traditional salami meat and other similar desserts. Grace said of her recipe, "Salame al Cioccolato is an Italian Dessert traditionally made using dark chocolate, cookies and dark rum.
