Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Mix the room-temperature butter, graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a small bowl until well combined and spreadable.

  2. Spread the graham butter evenly over one side of each of the 8 bread slices.

  3. Turn the bread over so the unspread sides face up. Spread Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread on 4 of the slices.

  4. Spread marshmallow cream on the other 4 slices, then press each marshmallow slice onto a Nutella slice to make 4 sandwiches.

  5. Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in, buttered sides out.

  6. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, pressing down with a weight or spatula if using a skillet, until the bread is golden and crisp.

  7. Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until golden and the chocolate and marshmallow are soft and melted.

  8. Remove to a board, let rest 1 minute, cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
