• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

1. Cut the ciabatta into 5- by 3-inch rectangles and split horizontally.


2. Stir the hazelnut butter, honey, salt, and cloves together and spread about 1 tablespoon onto each of the bread rectangles


3. Layer with chocolate and top with remaining bread.


4. Brush with butter and grill in a press until the chocolate melts.


5. Cut into small triangles and sprinkle each with sea salt to serve.
