Once upon a time, this dessert was loved by many, especially children, which is no surprise — chocolate sausage is very tasty, and you want to eat it endlessly. Also, to joke with friends by passing it off as smoked meat sausage. But now this recipe is somewhat forgotten. And in vain, because it«s very simple; the dessert is prepared quickly. Our journalist looked into her grandmother»s cookbook and decided to make it.

For preparation, melt butter in a small pot, add 2 tablespoons of water or milk, cocoa, and sugar, mix and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring. Cool to a warm state and add a raw egg.

Separately, in a bowl, finely chop cookies, mix them with chopped nuts. Combine the chocolate mixture with the cookie and nut mixture, mix thoroughly.

Next, lay the mixture on foil (parchment or gauze) in the shape of a sausage (with a diameter no thicker than a regular smoked sausage). Near the edge, carefully wrap it, giving it a round shape by rolling it on the table like a rolling pin.
