What is Chocolate French Toast Sticks

Bread sticks stuffed with chocolate hazelnut spread, dipped in egg and milk, pan-fried in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar.

How to make Chocolate French Toast Sticks

Tips from the cook

  • Press the bread halves together firmly with a fork along the edges, so the filling stays inside.
  • Dip each stick quickly, as bread soaked too long falls apart in the pan.
  • Cook over medium heat and turn until golden on all sides, so the filling gets warm and gooey.
  • Roll the sticks in the cinnamon sugar while they are still warm, so it sticks.
  • Best eaten straight away, as the sticks go soft once cold.
