Instructions
Step 1
Begin by finely chopping the biscuits and nuts. This creates a nice texture for your chocolate sausage. Use a food processor if you prefer a smoother consistency.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the melted butter with the condensed milk and cocoa powder. Make sure to **mix well** until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the texture is smooth.
Next, **add in the chopped biscuits and nuts**. Stir the mixture thoroughly, ensuring everything is well combined and evenly distributed.
Step 3
Using plastic wrap or parchment paper, transfer the mixture and **shape it into a tight log**. Be sure to press it firmly to maintain the shape during chilling.
Step 4
Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator and let it chill for **5 to 6 hours**. This step is crucial as it solidifies the mixture, making it easier to slice later.
Step 5
Once chilled, your chocolate sausage can be unwrapped and optionally **coated with powdered sugar** for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.
Store the chocolate sausage in the refrigerator for up to **7 days**, making it a perfect treat to prepare ahead of time for gatherings.
