Chocolate Sandwich

These crisp and chocolatey sandwiches are a favorite with my boys. There is no rocket science in making a Chocolate sandwich, it is simply grilled sandwich with a chocolate and nut filling. For a fruity treat, layer some banana slices or even more if you love creamy cheese with chocolate go for that. I have the instructions below.

Chocolate sandwiches are often found on the menus of cafes and eateries. These sandwiches turn out as delicious as you get them there. White bread, Milk bread or brioche bread go well to make these.

This recipe uses chocolate chips and walnuts for the filling. You don’t need to melt the chocolate chips. You can use also replace choco chips with Nutella or any other chocolate spread of choice. For the walnuts you can use any other toasted nuts or replace with nut butter.

In the Step-by-step instructions I have shown how to make them in a pan, on the stovetop. For air fryer instructions check the recipe card below.

How to Make Chocolate Sandwich (Stepwise photos)

1.Use your favorite toasted unsalted nuts like walnuts, almonds, cashews or skinned peanuts. Alternately you may use store bought nut butter.

2. Chop them as fine as possible.

3. Spread chocolate chips, as much as you want.

4. Layer the nuts and optionally layer banana slices or pour maple syrup. If using nut butter instead of nuts, simply spread the nut butter on the other slice.

5. Cover the sandwich and spread some butter.

6. Heat a pan with half tablespoon butter.

7. Place the chocolate sandwich in the pan with the buttered side up.

8. Let toast on a low heat until the base turns crisp and golden. Turn it to the other side with a spatula.

9. Layer some chocolate chips on the hot toasted bread.

10. They will begin to melt soon. Spread with a butter knife or spoon. Garnish with some chopped nuts or white chocolate.

Slice the chocolate sandwich and serve. Be careful if serving to young kids, the chocolate inside becomes very hot.

Cream Cheese Chocolate Sandwich

Keep 4 tablespoons cream cheese out of the refrigerator for 15 to 20 mins so it softens as bit. Using a fork whisk it to smooth.

Spread the cheese over the bread slices. Do not use a lot as cream cheese is salted. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon.

Layer the choco chips as much as you want. Pour 1 to 2 tsps of maple syrup if you want.

Cover with another slice.

Spread some butter over the sandwich toaster and heat it. Spread butter on top of your sandwiches. Place them in the preheated toaster.

Remove when golden and crisp.

Pro Tips

Chocolate spread:  You can use any store bought chocolate spread or make your own by the chopping you favorite choice of chocolate or use choco chips. Sometimes I also use leftover condensed from another recipe and mix some cocoa powder to make an extremely delicious spread.

Nuts & nut butters add some protein and nutty flavor to the sandwiches. You can use walnuts, pistachios, roasted and skinned peanuts, almonds and cashews. Peanut butter and almond butter also go well. The recipe works with almond meal as well.

Cream cheese: Bring the cream cheese to room temperature. Whisk it well with a fork. Use it moderately as cream cheese is salted. I have not tried the cream cheese and nut combo.
