Ingredients
- 1 large baguette
- 2 52 g caramel-filled chocolate bars, broken into squares
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon or ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Slice baguette into 11/2-in (3.5-cm) thick rounds. Using a serrated knife, cut through the middle of bottom crusty side of each round to make a slit large enough to hold a square of chocolate. Widen slits and tuck a piece of chocolate into each. Place in a 9x13-in. (3-L) baking dish, bunching bread close together to fit. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour over bread. Turn bread over to fully soak up egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450F (230C). Generously brush a large wide baking sheet with some melted butter. Space soaked bread on baking sheet so pieces aren't touching. Bake in centre of oven for 8 min. Remove from oven, brush tops of bread with remaining melted butter, then turn slices over. Continue to bake until crusty and deep golden, 8 to 10 more min. Place toasts on plates. Drizzle with chocolate sauce, sprinkle with peel and icing sugar.

Why does this recipe reference chocolate sauce as the final step, when there is no mention of chocolate sauce in the ingredient list? Please fix the ingredient list or instructions!

This sounds so delicious I was wondering what type of peel? Lemon, orange or something else? Thank you

Ditto on the two comments: what chocolate sauce and peel???

Just as an FYI for people who actually use "cm" rather than inches - 2 inches = just over 5 cm (5.2 cm) kinda makes a difference... so ya

Great recipe! Thanks for posting. Chocolate lovers delight :) I think there's tons of recipes out there for Chocolate Sauce if anyone is interested in Garnishing with a sauce. PS Garnishing tips usually don't have recipes. Oh yeah... 2 in is actaully 5.08 cm. This reminds me of my younger sister who grew up with metric... she called one night in the middle of cooking one of mom's recipes. She wanted to know how much was a teaspoon and how much was a cup. I never laughed so hard. I

This recipe is devine. I served it topped with Rheo Thompson's chocolate and caramel sauces. Pure maple syrup was delicious too. I gently warmed the left overs in the microwave with success. You won't be disappointed.
