Chocolate again, YUMMY!

I think I must have this whole "chocolate is your friend" theme going on, since I've posted about chocolate a lot. I just couldn't resist this recipe though, how decedent can chocolate be?! Hey, it's a holiday weekend so why not splurge. Besides, dark chocolate is good for you! :-)





Grilled Dark Chocolate Sandwich
Makes 8 servings

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 chips
2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)

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

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.

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.
