I love grilled cheese sandwiches and this dessert grilled cheese is delicious for lunch or as a snack. This past weekend the temperature was below zero and we had a little snowfall which is perfect grilled cheese weather.
This recipe is from a card I picked up at the Land O’ Lakes booth at the BlogHer13 conference I attended this summer. I probably would have never made this type of grilled cheese sandwich had I not sampled it at their booth. I’m a chocolate lover, but I wasn’t too sure about mixing it with the cheese. As Land O’ Lakes states, “this unusual combination of sweet and savory will have you coming back for more.” I encourage you to give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
This recipe serves four people. You can find chocolate hazelnut spread in the peanut butter aisle at most grocery stores. I love Nutella and Jif makes a chocolate hazelnut spread as well which I used for this recipe.

Now that looks like a treat! I would never have tried it if you hadn’t recommended it though!
I was the same way Michelle, but since I had sampled it I knew it tasted good.
This sounds really weird. But I do plan to try it. LOL
I know it doesn’t seem like it would be good, but I really enjoyed it. I probably wouldn’t have made it had I not sampled it.
yummy!!!!
Love grilled cheese sandwiches! This sounds interesting!
I think you’ll like it, especially since I know you have a sweet tooth 🙂
Wow that’s a new combo for me! It does sound really good though!
You’ll have to give it a try Adri. I wasn’t too sure at first either.
OK. I have to try this! It looks delicious!
Let me know what you think Carla.
Love the comcept of a dessert grilled cheese, but I’m not a fan of hazelnut spread, but appple and cheddar is awesome! How about spreading apple butter instead of the hazelnut spread. Sounds yummy!
I love apple and cheddar together too! I never thought about apple butter, that could be interesting. The hazelnut chocolate spread tastes more like chocolate to me than hazelnut.
Hummmm sounds interesting? I’m like you Dawn mixing choc and cheese together doesn’t sound good but I will take your word for it and try it sometime.
Try it, you’ll like it 🙂
WOW this is epic! Love the flavor combo!
Thanks Julie! I wasn’t sure at first, but it’s quite tasty.
Yummy! This looks and sounds delicious. I could actually go for one of these right now.
Thanks Chelsea! It’s quite tasty!
