Further proof that I do not have quite the same patience nor baking acumen that so many of you possess - these Chocolate Toasts with Sea Salt and Olive Oil are definitely a, "Lazy Man's Dessert!"
My sister (not she who makes "witty" comments on my blog, but the other) shared this snack with me a few years back. She served the Chocolate Toasts as part of a spread for a neighborhood Wine and Cheese.
I appreciate any treat that takes simple, fine ingredients and puts them together in a somewhat unusual fashion! Have fun with these delightful toasts ~ and enjoy!
Here I used a semi-sweet Bakers Chocolate, but obviously the higher quality the chocolate the better!
Shaving the chocolate with a knife...because who doesn't enjoy shaving chocolate?
Baguette slices brushed with extra virgin olive oil and lightly toasted in 350 degree oven (do not over toast here, just 2-3 minutes)...
Mixed together 2/1 ratio of chili powder and cinnamon respectively (*this step is optional)...
Place some chocolate on top of lightly toasted baguette slice, sprinkle with touch of spice mixture and sea salt. Drizzle with your favorite extra virgin olive oil. Place in oven for 4-5 minutes or until chocolate is just soft. (Add MORE chocolate than I did here!!!!)
Out of the oven. Let chocolate set a minute or two.
Take a bite and enjoy...with a glass of red perhaps!

Chocolate + chili + red wine...YESSS!
I have Gab's back though. The quotation marks around witty might come back to bite you. Just sayin'. :P

get well soon
Thanks guys, quick and easy for sure!
Syd, we'll see...I'm not afraid! ;)
@Chow and Chatter thanx, I had a BAD 24 hour flu but am better now!
Why am I not eating these for breakfast??? Sweet and salty rings my bell :)
Ok, these look wonderful! I could eat like 12 of them right now!! I am all for simplicity too...nothing better than a wonderful tasting treat that takes less then 10minutes!!!
Bravo! Something so simple even I think I can make them! But dignified enough that I can impress someone. Thank you!
I discovered the combo of bread and chocolate while I was in elementary school. At first I was very hesitant but once I tried it I surrendered to the magic. Simple beauty. I agree.
first of all, I love that syd is calling me gab...she is my new bff...second of all, I do not like shaving ANYTHING, so your implication that all cooks like to shave chocolate is a bit presumptuous...third of all, will you make these on Christmas for your favorite sister?
I could eat several of these. They look delicious and perfect for the season. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
Oh I love this idea! Looks great! A combo of 2 of my favorites - chocolate and bread! :)
I don't know that I would call these lazy. Ingenious maybe. Yes, let's run with that.
What an idea! Wonder how these would be with my homemade eggnog? Guess I'll have to try it and see.
Love it and love the chili powder add:) Baking, oh not I... disaster city, lol.
This is right up my alley :)
These look awesome!
