Chocolate Salami (raw, GF, vegan)

Hello everyone, hope you all had a good day! How to enjoy a day off? Relax, sleep, read, go out in nature and/or have a lazy day … well, I just made this Chocolate Salami … Ekkkk, I love day off! Then I realize the name of this recipe may sound alarming but have no fear, this is not salami at all (this sweet does not contain any meat)!! Just a chocolate log that looks like salami, in fact it’s actually full of nuts, dried fruits, chocolate and zucchini;) More than just cute. This lovely treat is fully raw, vegan, sweet but not too sweet, made completely with unprocessed and gluten-free ingredients, beyond full of nutrient rich plant based goodness! This recipe is one of those easy, quick no bake recipes, literally takes less than 10 minutes to make. Fun and super easy to make, festive and so delicious. It also makes a fantastic edible Christmas gift. Ummm YUM, it’s so dam good if you ask me! 

This recipe is based on a classic Christmas treat that’s popular throughout Europe.
