Sweet Chocolate and Berry Sandwich

This is a sandwich that I treat myself to only every now and then. The memory of it lingers and lasts for a long time. Adding the fresh raspberries really sends it over the edge. I can’t decide if this sandwich should be eaten in the morning, for lunch, or late at night. Either way, it’s sure to be a sandwich you won’t soon forget either! It’s delicious and decadent, and makes an excellent dessert, cut into quarters. Get the milk ready!

Sweet Chocolate and Berry Sandwich

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 8 slices cinnamon raisin bread
• ½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
• ½ cup raspberry jam
• 24 raspberries
• Butter, softened

Directions:

1. Spread the butter on one side of all 8 slices of bread. Assemble the sandwiches by placing the bread slices butter side down on a work surface. Divide and spread the chocolate hazelnut spread on four of the slices of bread. Divide and spread the raspberry jam on the other four slices of bread. Press the raspberries into the four slices of chocolate covered bread, and top with the jam covered slices.
2. Pre-heat a skillet or griddle (ideally square in shape) over medium heat. Add the assembled sandwiches and fry on both sides until nicely browned – about 3 – 4 minutes. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk!
