Preparation
Preheat the Cuisinart® Griddler® Jr. in the closed position to medium while assembling panini. Brush one side of each slice of bread with melted butter. Place 2 slices of bread on work surface, buttered side down. Top each one with the chocolate, then raspberries, in equal amounts. Place remaining bread on top, buttered side up. Carefully place panini on the bottom grill plate of the preheated Griddler®. Close while applying light pressure to handle for about 20 seconds. Grill panini for about 5 minutes, until the chocolate is melted and the bread is toasted golden brown and crispy. Remove; cut in half on the diagonal. Dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm, garnished with additional raspberries and mint if desired.
