Chocolate Swirled Breakfast Rolls-like a cinnamon roll only chocolate!
I have a confession to make. The first time I made these Chocolate Swirled Breakfast Rolls, I was home alone. The kids were away for the weekend. I was wandering around the kitchen, looking for a snack. You know how it is. You open up every single cabinet, then the fridge and freezer, and nothing looks good.
You don’t know what you want but you want something. It’s not like there’s not plenty to choose from in my house. With 3 kids, I’ve got plenty of snacks to choose from.
I knew I didn’t want to go all out and make a batch of cookies, or bake a cake. I wanted something sweet, something warm from the oven. And I wanted chocolate. I had a partial bag of mini chocolate chips. That’s a start.
And then I saw the cocoa powder sitting next to the sugar container in the cabinet.
It all came together so quickly.
Before I could stop myself, I’d eaten 4 of these little babies. I did manage to control myself and save the rest for the next day. The kids never saw the first batch.
To be fair, I did make them their own batch when they got home. And they loved these too. So good, no icing needed.

August 3, 2014 at 8:54 pmLooks wonderful! I’m going to try adding some cinnamon to the cocoa/sugar mixture. 🙂

August 3, 2014 at 10:39 pmI easily could have taken down 4 of these, or more!! They look so delicious – what a great idea to do chocolate instead of cinnamon! And this statement – “You open up every single cabinet, then the fridge and freezer, and nothing looks good.” – I can totally relate to that! I feel like that happens all the time!!

August 3, 2014 at 11:24 pmI question the 1-2 measures. Is that 1/2 or an approximate measure?
Joan Hayes says
August 5, 2014 at 11:52 pmIt’s an approximate, if you like lots of cocoa sugar then you want to use the max, if you just want a little cocoa flavor, use less.

August 5, 2014 at 11:07 pmNana’s were probably from scratch but I won’t tell if you won’t 😉
