My mother used to make this a lot when i was we were little, my sister and I. I remember that when she would make it during the winter, we would always keep the rolls on our balcony, since the temperature was close to the one in the fridge :)
From own experience I can confirm, that they can stay OK for up to a month, if kept in a cool place (like a fridge). You would actually get very well blended flavors!
This was my first try at this recipe, since here in Germany i was unable (yet) to find the "household biscuits": very thick and rather sugarless biscuits. However the "Petit beurre" biscuits i found did the job very very well!! Just don't break them into too small pieces, and all will be well.
For 2 rolls you will need:
500g biscuits
8 tblsp sugar
200ml water
200 g butter
3 tblsp unsweetened cocoa powder (adjust to own taste)
Optional 1: raisins, chopped soft jellies (Haribo), chopped nuts, chopped dried fruits
Optional 2: shredded coconuts
1 tblsp brandy / rum
1/2 cup water
If you use "Optional 2", make sure you don't add too much, as it will take up some of the chocolate liquid, and the salamis might become too dry!
Enjoy!

@jac14kie You could use 1 cup water with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. You need to soak the biscuits a bit, otherwise the result will be too dry. Hope you will have great success with the recipe!
