Dates! They are so delicious, multi-flavored and really nip that sugar craving in the bud. I get them from
Costco and when I want some thing like brownies or ice cream, I’ll have a couple dates and I am over
the craving and satisfied. They are pure sugar and fiber but a low glycemic sugar so relatively healthy.

Grilled Dark Chocolate Sandwich

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
* 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
* 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
* 8 slices ( the thinner the better) whole-wheat or white 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. Press chocolate chips and nuts, if using, into the chocolate. Cover with the remaining slices of bread, buttered-side up, and press lightly.
3. Cook the sandwiches in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 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.
