What a quick, inexpensive and delicous treat! THANK YOU Melissa! I also grated orange zest instead of mint.

This was wonderful. I do agree with gwynnee on the quality of the ingredients. I used a fresh baguette from a local French bakery, European style sweet cream butter, mint grown in my garden, and Valrhona chocolate. It was wonderful, but it wasn't inexpensive. Thanks for the recipe, though, I will be making it again.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it was really tasty. It is not a combination I would have made on my own and I'm glad I tried it. The texture and flavors were great. It was also very cheap to make since I baked my own baguette and used fresh mint growing wild near my house. The chocolate I used (Lindt was on sale for $1 and I have half the bar left over.

When I made this, I toasted the baguette with the butter and mint on it, then put the chocolate on top of the hot, mint-buttered bread. The chocolate melted down into the bread and was amazing. I didn't use expensive chocolate--just a regular Hershey bar and it was delicious--so much so that my kids keep asking for it again. The secret may be to toast the bread--

Minted buttered baguette with chocolate bar on top? This just wasn't good. Maybe you have to be a person who grew up in France eating this to appreciate it. I found it a waste of a baguette personally. Judging by the logo on the chocolate bar, you were using Ghiradelli chocolate, which doesn't qualify for 'cheap chocolate'. It doesn't matter how many coupons, clearance bins or manager's specials you claim using, Ghiradelli IS expensive. Why do you keep letting Food Network snooker you with ingredients that shoot holes in your $10 promise?

Love the idea of a 'dessert tartine' which I've never had. It didn't turn me on too much. Think I'd like the bread toasted and spread with 'spreadable' chocolate, like Nutella maybe? Since Melissa was using the baguette untoasted she certainly wasn't using a 'day-old' product or it would've crunched when she bit into it, which it didn't. My baguette cost $2.49 ($3.40 total for recipe. I think her platter looked like she cut up the whole baguette and didn't just use 1/2 like her recipe states.
