CHOCOLATE

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Grilled Dark Chocolate Sandwich

Both simpler and more decadent than a chocolate croissant, a grilled chocolate sandwich is a marriage of bread and chocolate in which the two components are evenly matched.

Ingredients

¼ cup fat-free evaporated milk

3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

1 ½ tablespoons butter, softened

8 slices thin whole-wheat or white sandwich bread

3 tablespoons bittersweet or semisweet chocolate hips

2 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts, (optional)

DirectionsInstructions Checklist

Step 1

Heat evaporated milk just until boiling. Add chocolate, let stand for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 2

Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Divide the chocolate mixture on the unbuttered side of 4 slices, leaving a little border. Press chocolate chips and nuts, if using, into the chocolate. Cover with the remaining slices of bread, buttered-side up, and press lightly.

Step 3

Cook the sandwiches in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn over, press with a spatula, and cook until nicely browned and the chocolate is barely melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Serve warm.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
