Grilled Dark Chocolate Sandwich - 21g Carbs, 2g Fiber

From: Eating Well March/April 2007

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.

Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8

1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp butter, softened
8 slices thin whole-wheat or white sandwich bread
3 Tbsp bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp chopped toasted hazelnuts, (optional)

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

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.

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.
