As a kid I remember that there was always a treat in our house for ‘unexpected’ visitors. My mom used to say (she still does actually) “I will make ‘kormos’ , what if someone comes? Shouldn’t we have something to offer?” And there was never left any for no one else as my sister and I could eat the whole thing in an afternoon..

Tips!

• You can keep the log either in the fridge or the freezer if you want a more frozen version!
• You can add also 100gr. walnuts if you like, also broken in small pieces.
• In the hot summer days and nights you can serve also with ice-cream..! Delicious!
• Instead of a log you can use this recipe to make little tasty chocolate treats. Instead of wrapping the mixture into the paper to make a log you can make small balls which you can sprinkle with ground biscuit or coconut!
