As kids have holidays, i want to make this for them as i have both the cheese and chocolate at home.

He told me amma please do not try any weird combos and i am sure it won't be nice. I said you please wait and let's see how it turns out.

He reluctantly had it out of compulsion but after tasting hugged me and told it was awesome. Varsha too loved it very much. So moms who are looking for interesting recipes for children during their summer vacation can try this chocolate sandwich recipe. Even you can try paratha with this combo too.
