Chocolate Bruschetta

When i came across this recipe it reminded me of nutella on soft white bread or just nutella on its on. Never did i imagine chocolate bruschetta with salt - something new. I havent really tried it but thought it was an interesting recipe. I havent had time to do any experimenting in the kitchen seeing that i have been a busy little bee but anyways .. here is a recipe i think thats worth trying especially for the chocolate lovers and its easy and quick too. So good luck. If anyone tries it please please tell me how it turns out ..

Salt enhances the chocolate flavor. For best results, use good-quality chocolate and coarse sea salt. Garnish with fresh mint leaves instead of orange rind, if desired.
