Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 cups warm water (110o to 115o), divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup baking cocoa
  • filling:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped nuts , optional
  • icing:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tbsp milk
  • additional miniature semisweet chocolate chips , optional

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add the butter, sugar, salt and remaining water. Stir in 2-1/2 cups flour and cocoa. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle; brush with melted butter. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips and nuts if desired; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
  4. Roll up each jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 10 slices. Place cut side down in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  5. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach desired consistency. Spread over rolls while slightly warm; sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired. Yield: 20 rolls.
