SWEET GRILLED PEACHES


A special treat not necessarily healthy but really not all that bad either.

Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 peaches, unpeeled, halved and pitted
  • 1/3 cup white baking chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons nuts, coarsely chopped toasted and salted


Preparation:

Heat grill to medium-high. Whisk together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until well blended. Add peach halves and toss to coat.

Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Place peaches, cut side down on grill. Grill until slightly charred about 2 minutes. Using tongs turn peaches over carefully. Divide chopped chocolate among peach cavities and drizzle with remaining butter mixture from bowl. Grill until chocolate just begins to melt and peaches are charred, about 2 minutes.

To serve, sprinkle with nuts or pair with vanilla ice cream.
