"PinterestFacebookEver have a day where all you want in the world is a chocolate croissant? Been there! OK, so here&amp;#39;s another idea, if you love crostinis (you know, toasted bread with yumminess on top), meet the sweet version, that is surprisingly low-cal...\n****Keeping the ol&amp;#39; budget in mind, I&amp;#39;m always trying to come up with new uses for stale bread. My logic: If I&amp;#39;m going to splurge on an artisan loaf, I better use it up!\nI tend to slice up bread, toast, then top with herbs and Parmesan--my favorite. But lately I discovered a sweet application, and it&amp;#39;s totally satisfying an afternoon choco craving (happens a lot here in my house).\nInspired by this recipe found in O, here&amp;#39;s what I do: Melt a small helping of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Toast some bread slices. Drizzle chocolate on top of bread and top with pistachios (or pumpkin seeds, as I do). Dried cranberries would be yummy, too.\nIt&amp;#39;s oddly delish, and kind of reminds me of one of my favorite chocolate bars, ever: Theo&amp;#39;s Bread and Chocolate bar (seriously, a chocolate bar made with bread crumbs--kind of like an upscale Nestle Crunch bar).\nP.S.
