Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup peanut butter
- Butter for grilling
- 1 cup dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup Cabernet wine
- Fresh fruit for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by laying out bread slices, marshmallow fluff, and peanut butter on a clean work surface.
- Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on 4 bread slices, ensuring even coverage to the edges.
- Spread an equal amount of marshmallow fluff on the remaining 4 bread slices, creating a complementary layer.
- Carefully sandwich the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sides together to form 4 complete sandwiches.
- Lightly butter the exterior sides of each sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy grilling result.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, allowing it to warm gradually.
- Place sandwiches in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until bread turns golden brown and crispy.
- While sandwiches are grilling, prepare the Cabernet chocolate fondue by melting dark chocolate in a double boiler.
- Slowly incorporate Cabernet wine into the melted chocolate, stirring continuously to create a smooth, glossy sauce.
- Remove grilled sandwiches from heat, cut diagonally, and arrange on a serving platter.
- Transfer the Cabernet chocolate fondue to a small serving bowl.
- Garnish the plate with fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or raspberries for additional dipping options.
- Serve immediately while sandwiches are warm and fondue is rich and smooth.
Tips
- Use high-quality bread with a sturdy texture to prevent sogginess during grilling.
- Ensure your skillet is at medium heat to achieve an even, golden-brown crust without burning.
- For the smoothest fondue, chop dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to help it melt evenly.
- Use a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water to melt chocolate gently and prevent scorching.
- Choose a good-quality Cabernet wine that you would also enjoy drinking for the most robust flavor in the fondue.
- Let sandwiches rest for a minute after grilling to allow the filling to set slightly.
- Serve the fondue warm but not scalding to preserve its silky texture and prevent burning.
- Experiment with different fruit options for dipping to add variety and freshness to your dessert experience.
