Makes 30 slices

3 sticks unsalted butter

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the cocoa powder and sugar. Slowly add the eggs and bring to a boil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine crumbled butter cookies and the chocolate batter, mixing thoroughly. Allow the batter to cool completely.

Once cool, move the batter to wax paper and roll to form a 1-inch tube. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut the chocolate salami into ¼ inch slices and serve as shown.
