8 chocolate hazelnut candies (such as baci, roughly chopped)
12 slices of dried fruit and nut bread (such as raisin walnut)
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread

Instructions

Originally seen on Giada In Italy, Season 3. Episode: Sweet Masters.
Place the ice cream in a bowl and allow to soften slightly at room temperature. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped candies, cover and place in the freezer to firm up.
Preheat a grill over medium high heat.
Grill the bread for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly charred. Spread each slice with some of the hazelnut spread. Scoop 1/3 cup of the ice cream mix onto 6 of the slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices. Enjoy immediately or store sandwiches in the freezer for up to 5 hours before serving.
