Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet. • Trim and discard ends from baguettes; slice on a diagonal into three oval-shaped slices each. • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs*, milk, cinnamon, 2 TBSP sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined. (It’s OK if there are a few clumps of cinnamon.) • Transfer egg mixture and baguette slices to a large, zip-close bag; seal and toss to combine. Set aside, tossing occasionally, until bread is evenly soaked.
• While bread soaks, heat a small, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 1 TBSP sugar, 2 TBSP water, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated, 2-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate to cool.
• Heat a drizzle of oil and 1 TBSP butter in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Once butter begins to foam, add soaked bread to pan. (TIP: Let any excess egg mixture drip off first.) Cook, lightly pressing down with a spatula, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary, wiping out pan and adding more oil and butter between batches. • Transfer French toast to prepared baking sheet. Bake on top rack until custardy, 6-8 minutes.
• While French toast bakes, place peanut butter, maple syrup, and 1 TBSP butter in a small, microwave- safe bowl. Microwave until butter has melted, 20 seconds. (TIP: If not yet melted, microwave 10-20 seconds more.) Add a pinch of salt and stir until smooth; set aside.
• Place half the SkinnyDipped Semi- Sweet Baking Bits (save the rest for serving) in a second small, microwave- safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. TIP: To prevent chocolate from burning, don’t skip the intervals! It took us about 2 minutes total.
• Break candied peanuts into small pieces (or roughly chop with a knife). • Divide French toast between plates. Drizzle with peanut butter sauce and melted chocolate. Top with candied peanuts and as much remaining chocolate bits as you like. Serve. (If you have any berries on hand, serve them on the side for a fresh finish!)
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the decadent taste, though some found it overly sweet. Consider reducing sugar for a less dessert-like breakfast 🍫.
- Ease of prep: Toasting in the oven after pan-frying created the best French toast for some. Others struggled with slicing the baguette.
- Suggestions: Try using less chocolate; even half the amount was too much for some. Adding sliced banana complemented the flavors well.
- Portions: Several mentioned having excess ingredients, especially for smaller households. Consider adjusting quantities if reordering.
- Bread choice: While some praised the baguette's absorption, others suggested challah might work better for French toast.
Reviews from our home cooks
I mostly thought this was delicious. However, there is simply way too much chocolate. It does not seem reasonable for a single person to eat half a bag of chocolate chips. Especially since the french toast is already sweetened and there is the peanut butter and syrup blend and the candied peanuts. Actually, I only used half the bag for all servings and it was still too much. I would still order this again, but would probably cut the chocolate down to at least 1/4 of the bag. That being said, the French toast itself was amazing.
Heavenly. I ordered it again! Baguette is perfect for absorbing tasty egg mix. Peanut butter chocolate drizzle is phenomenal. Please make this a regular offering.
Toasting in the oven was such a great touch. Best French toast we've ever made
Whole family went crazy for this! The peanut butter sauce was delicious. Will be making again!
Beautiful and came out so well! It felt fancy but all within the comfort of my own home!
So delicious! Added coconut sugar and more cinnamon on each flip to really enhance the flavor
I loved this! The kids enjoyed it as well! Although we added a cut up banana to it!
Delicious. However, it is way too sugary. It should not have said to add sugar in the egg mixture. Not to mention there wasn't even enough egg mixture for 3 of the breads, let alone 4. The instructions on how to cut them diagonally were too vague. The instruction to put the bread & egg mixture in a bag was just weird. Instead, I did what I normally do and just dipped the bread in the liquid before putting it on the pan.
Loved that the chocolate chips were skinny brand and a large portion. Yummy on sauce
We had a mother's day brunch and these were a big hit!
