Chocolate Panini…

Valentine ’s Day is tomorrow. Here is a little something sweet you can serve your loved ones.
 I made this for the kids as a snack, and they gobbled it up. Tyler sprinkled powdered sugar on top of his. This turned it from nice sweet treat to a special “finished” dessert.  
Either way you chose, just remember there are 364 other days of the year to profess your love!

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
8 pieces of thinly sliced white sandwich bread
1/2 cup Nutella
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Directions:
 Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Lay slices on a piece of waxed paper, butter side down. Spread 1 heaping tablespoonful of Nutella over four slices. Sprinkle chocolate over, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Cover with remaining bread, butter side up.
 Warm a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place panini on griddle and cook, pressing down with a spatula, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until golden, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly and use a sharp cutter to form heart shapes, or cut diagonally into triangles. Repeat with remaining panini.
