My husband thought I&#8217;d added coffee (I didn&#8217;t) and the closest thing I could compare it to was brownie batter (my favorite) though not as sweet. And they aren&#8217;t gooey!<\/p>\n<p>I made my rolls heart-shaped for Valentine&#8217;s Day. If you want to create heart rolls but don&#8217;t happen to have 24 mini heart pans (<em>I know, I know<\/em>) you can put the rounds in one large heart-shaped cake pan. If you don&#8217;t have a heart pan, bake them just like cinnamon rolls in a large baking pan, glaze them, and add Valentine sprinkles. Improvise!<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, these are great for other occasions. Who doesn&#8217;t like <em>chocolate<\/em>? A few chocolate jimmies look very nice and kind of advertise what&#8217;s inside, so no one is expecting cinnamon.<\/p>\n<p>This roll recipe really is easy. It&#8217;s time-consuming because it has to rise twice, but seriously, there&#8217;s nothing hard about it at all.<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Chocolate-Filled-Sweet-Rolls-from-The-Rowdy-Baker-1000x288.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chocolate-Filled Sweet Rolls<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Rowdy Baker<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary summary\">Makes 24 rolls Use small 3 1\/2-inch mini pans or one large 11&#215;15-inch pan<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">DOUGH:<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup milk (I use whole milk)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 cup shortening<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 cup butter<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup buttermilk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 cup very warm water<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 packages active dry yeast<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 cup plus 1\/2 teaspoon sugar, divided<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 eggs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 1\/2 teaspoons salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">5 &#8211; 5 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">FILLING:<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">7 ounces dark chocolate<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 cup (1 stick) butter<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">GLAZE:<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 cups powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2-3 tablespoons milk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 teaspoon vanilla<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">DOUGH: In a small pan over medium-low heat, combine milk, shortening, and butter. Stir occasionally until shortening and butter are melted. Remove from heat and stir in buttermilk.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a small cup, combine warm water, yeast, and 1\/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Let it sit until bubbly (about 5 minutes).<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large bowl (a sturdy stand mixer is best) combine the milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, and 1\/3 cup sugar. Switch to a dough hook, if you have one.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Slowly add 5 cups of flour and the salt. Mix well. The dough should come cleanly away from the side of the bowl. If it doesn&#8217;t &#8211; or is sticky to the touch &#8211; add the remaining 1\/2 cup flour. Continue to use the mixer to knead the dough for 5 minutes. If kneading by hand, place dough on floured surface and knead for 7 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise until doubled . . . about an hour.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Prepare pans: If using small mini-pans, spray with an oil\/flour baking spray. If using a 11&#215;15-inch baking pan, spray lightly and line the bottom with parchment.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">FILLING: In a small saucepan over lowest heat (or in a microwave, in 15-second increments) melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Working with half of the dough at a time, roll out to 9&#215;15 inches on a lightly floured surface, with the long side facing you.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Spread half of the chocolate mixture over the dough. Sprinkle evenly with 1\/4 cup sugar.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Beginning with the long edge facing you, roll the dough up. Use a sharp knife to cut 12 equal pieces. (They will each be a little more than 1 inch.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place in prepared pan(s) and repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat oven to 400 F. Bake rolls for approximately 20 minutes, or until rich golden brown. While still warm, glaze with the following:<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">GLAZE: Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Adjust if necessary, using powdered sugar or milk, to create a fairly thin glaze. Brush over warm rolls and sprinkle with decorations if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.5.3229<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_6418\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6418\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6418\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?resize=584%2C390\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C684 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?resize=768%2C513 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?resize=449%2C300 449w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bubbly-yeast-1.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bubbly yeast!
