 Proper ingredients for any Grilled Charlie: Wonder Bread, extra crunchy Peter Pan peanut butter, Hershey´s chocolate syrup, and a slice of orange American Cheese (a processed cheese-like product). With none of these readily available in the Czech Republic, these substitutes – found at most Prague Albert Supermarkets – will do: 

1. Make some chocolate syrup: throw a few squares of the cooking chocolate in a small saucepan, and add a few drops of water (a tablespoon or two). Heat on high, constantly stirring for a minute or two. 

2. Make the first part of the sandwich – a grilled cheese. Throw some butter on a saucepan, medium heat. Place a slice of cheese in between two slices of bread, and throw the sandwich on. Fry for a minute or two until nice and golden, then flip. (You can also butter the bread directly instead of melting it in the pan. Down to preference.)

 3. When the grilled cheese is thoroughly cooked, spread some chocolate sauce on top. Take another slice of bread, spread some peanut butter on, and layer that on top of the chocolate, peanut butter side down. Flip the sandwich over and fry until all sides are golden (add more butter if necessary).  4. Slice diagonally and enjoy with cold beer.
