Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls

Some might think I am crazy, but I felt the need to somehow make one of my favorite “comfort foods” even more comforting. ;o) Or maybe just more fattening. Well, here we have it…chocolatetized cinnamon rolls. You be the judge. In my judgement, I think you might want to try it!

Chocolate Roll Dough:
1 cup milk
2 Tbl butter
2¼ tsp (1 pkt) dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp salt

Warm milk and butter to 110° in microwave. Pour into bowl of mixer. Sprinkle yeast over warm milk mixture. Sprinkle sugar over yeast and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Add flour, cocoa, and salt, mix well and knead. Turn into sprayed bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place for 45 minutes.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Filling:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbl cinnamon
1 Tbl unsweetened cocoa
6 Tbl butter, softened
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

In small bowl, stir together sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa. On floured surface, roll out dough to 18″x10″ rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over dough. Sprinkle filling evenly over butter. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over filling and gently press down. Roll up from long end to long end, pinch seam. Cut into 12 1½” rounds (I use thread, place under dough, cross ends over and pull quickly through dough), put in sprayed 13″×9″ pan. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes). Bake in preheated 375° oven for 15-20 minutes.

Cinnamon Roll Glaze:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
milk

Mix powdered sugar into butter, add enough milk to make desired glaze consistency. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
