Where was this guy on grilled cheese day?

Brandon over at Brandon Eats brings us this great photo and recipe for a late-night grilled chocolate sandwich. Against science, and his better judgement, Brandon seems to take great joy in slapping some Scharffen Berger between two slices of buttered bread and frying it up. The last step of the recipe: “Clean the kitchen carefully and never confess to your late night culinary excursion.”

Personally, I’m completely inspired and unsure that I’ll be able to wait to make this a midnight snack. It may just wind up being lunch. I’m ok with that.

Funny he should choose Scharffen Berger, because they serve these same sandwiches at their restaurant in Emeryville, Cafe Cacao. (yum)

I was at the beach on grilled cheese day! Thanks for including me on the site, Nick. And James, obviously those guys over at Scharffen Berger are geniuses--I can only dream of one day visiting their factory.

Sounds really good cut in half with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream between the halves. This would bring it out of the midnight snack territory and into a serveable dessert.

Also, if you made up a batch of homemade marshmallow (http://www.cookingforengineers.com/article.php?id=106), but spread it much thinner in the pan to get a layer about 1/4-1/2 inch for a thin marshmallow wafer for inside and used a whole wheat or graham flour bread, the resulting "grilled s'more" might be good. I'd try it, but am still 25 pounds from my target weight and need to not try ideas like this right now.

It would probably also be good with cinnamon bread. Other expansions on the idea would be to look to the carnival fried food monstrosities that have been appearing over the last few years (currently all over TV for our state fair). Since a grilled *** is basically fried bread around a filling, thinking through most of the sweet things that are batter dipped and then fried, you'd probably come up with some other delightfully bad for you recipes: a little caramel inside, possibly some almonds, toffee chips, and other candy bar ingredients would probably result in interesting results.
