Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Warm the milk to about 110°F. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth, then place in a greased bowl and let rise for 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon to create the filling.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a 16x10-inch rectangle, spread softened butter, sprinkle filling mixture, mini chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candies. Roll tightly and slice into 12 rolls.
- Place sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for an additional 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the glaze by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Once rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle glaze on top and sprinkle with additional crushed peppermint candies.
