  2. Break the cookies into medium-sized pieces, add the crushed nuts, dried fruit, orange zest, and salt.
  3. Mix well the chocolate part with the dry ingredients. 
  4. Prepare a wide cling film in 2 layers. Put the mass on it and, using the film, roll up a sausage. Tie up the film on both sides and place it in a fridge or freezer.
