For the French toast, whisk together eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and half-and-half in a large bowl.

Assemble sandwiches: spread 2 ounces Nutella on one slice of bread, place 2 thin chocolate candy bars on top and cover with a second slice of bread.

Dip each sandwich in egg mixture making sure to coat both sides.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.

When the butter is melted and sizzling, add one sandwich at a time and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes.

Add more butter as needed to cook each sandwich.
