Delicious CHOCOLATE french toast sandwiches recipe (with pic!)
Disclaimer: this picture is from the internet, but they really did look like this! (okay, so maybe I didn't arrange them in such a nice overlapping manner)
Made these this morning and they were delish!

You'll need...
-4 slices of white sandwich bread
-good quality thin semi-sweet chocolate bar (ghirardelli is what I used)
-2 large eggs
-2 Tbs. sugar
-1/2 cup half-and-half
-1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
-1/4 tsp. kosher salt
-2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
-Confectioner's sugar (for dusting)
Cut each bread into 4 triangles by slicing diagonally.
Break the chocolate into triangles that are roughly the same size as the bread (but a little smaller).
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined, then add the half-and-half, vanilla, and salt. Whisk some more until combined.
Heat 1 Tbsp. of butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Dip bread pieces into bowl of egg mixture and make sure they are soaked.
Once butter has melted and is sizzling, add half of the bread pieces in one layer.. but leave a little space between the pieces.
Cook until browned (approx. 2 minutes), then turn and cook on other side until nicely browned.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and take skillet off heat.
Put a triangle of chocolate on half of the bread pieces, an top with the other piece of bread (leave the best-looking pieces for the tops!). Let those sit.
Return pan to heat and add other Tbsp. butter, cook remaining bread in same way, and again fill with chocolate.
After you make the sandwiches, dust them with confectioner's sugar! (I just put it into a mesh strainer and shake the strainer and it came out really nicely!)
