INGREDIENTS
¾ cup heavy cream
¾ cup whole milk
7½ Tablespoon DOVE CHOCOLATE DISCOVERIES™
Dark Sipping Chocolate
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 Tablespoons honey
2½ Tablespoons cream cheese at room temperature
3 Tablespoons mascarpone cheese
Six 1/3 to ½ inch slices challah or brioche bread
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter - room temperature

PREPARATION
1. Pour the heavy cream and milk into a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Sprinkle in the Dark Sipping Chocolate, and whisk vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth in texture. Remove from heat, and cover to keep warm.
2. Whisk the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, maple syrup, and honey in a small bowl until well blended. Spread the mixture onto three slices of the bread, and top with the remaining slices. Spread butter onto each side of the sandwich.
3. Heat a medium-sized sautè pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches individually and cook until each side is golden brown (roughly 1-2 minutes per side). Remove from pan and repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately with a small cup of warm chocolate soup for dipping.
