Grilled Dark Chocolate Sandwich

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

Preparation

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.
3. Press chocolate chips and nuts, if using, into the chocolate. Cover with the remaining slices of bread, buttered-side up, and press lightly.
4. Cook the sandwiches in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 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.
