A chocolate sandwich is a warm, gooey dessert made with grilled or fried bread and chocolate placed between the slices. Different types of bread and chocolate can be used, and additional fillings such as marshmallow, peanut butter, and candy can be added. It’s best eaten with a knife and fork or with ice cream toppings.
Although the term chocolate sandwich is sometimes used to mean a type of cookie with a filling in the center, it usually means a dessert of grilled or fried bread. Made much like a grilled cheese sandwich, only with chocolate placed between the two slices of bread, it’s a warm, gooey dessert. There are many possible variations of a chocolate sandwich.
For example, many different types of bread could be used, from white, whole-grain, French, or Italian varieties to raisin or cinnamon. Some people even like to make chocolate sandwiches out of bagels, cookies, Kaiser rolls, or croissants. Chocolate can also be of many different types, although it should be in a sliced form rather than small slivers or chunks. Otherwise, the small pieces are likely to fall out when the chocolate sandwich is to be flipped into the pan with a spatula to the other side. A skillet on the stove or a hot plate can be used to heat and cook the chocolate buns.
Before grilling or frying, two slices of bread are buttered on one side. The chocolate should be placed between the uncut sides of the bread slices in as many slabs as possible, without being too thick or all the way to the edge of the crusts. At this point, more filling items can be added to create a variation on the basic chocolate sandwich. Some people like to add a marshmallow layer that makes the dessert look like the popular S’mores camping treat, which features chocolate and marshmallow chunks sandwiched between two graham wafers before being heated over a fire.
Peanut butter, candy bar slices, and crushed candy are other possible additions to a grilled or fried chocolate sandwich. Once heated, the sandwich is often too messy to eat with your hands. Chocolate sandwiches can be eaten using a knife and fork. Some people also like to use a spoon if they are filling their sandwich with a scoop of ice cream. For this variation, ice cream toppings such as chocolate, fudge or caramel and chopped nuts can also be added to the fried chocolate sandwich.
Some people like to eat a chocolate sandwich without toppings for brunch or a weekend snack rather than dessert. When grilling or frying sandwiches, it’s usually best to use a lower temperature so the chocolate doesn’t melt and spill out into the pan. The pan can then be turned off and the lid left to cover the sandwich until the chocolate melts.
