Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 box Triple Chocolate cake mix
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Filling and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, melted
  • 1 cup Mallo Bits plus extra for topping
  • 1 1/2 – 2 cups mini chocolate chips plus extra for topping
  • 1 container Marshmallow creme
  • 1 container chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the triple chocolate cake mix, flour, warm water, and active dry yeast, mixing until the ingredients are just slightly combined.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead until fully combined and elastic, testing by pressing the dough to see if it bounces back.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a large glass bowl, brushing the top of the dough and the sides of the bowl with canola oil to prevent sticking. Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Once risen, place the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Apply Filling: Brush the rolled dough generously with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with 1 cup Mallo Bits and 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips.
  6. Form Rolls: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log and slice into rolls approximately 1 1/2 inches thick.
  7. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls in a baking dish, cover them again, and let rise for another hour to allow them to puff and become fluffy.
  8. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls complete their second rise.
  9. Bake Rolls: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Cool Rolls: Remove the rolls and let them cool for about 20 minutes before adding toppings to prevent melting.
  11. Drizzle Chocolate Sauce: Using the chocolate sauce container, drizzle generously over the cooled rolls for a rich finish.
  12. Prepare Marshmallow Creme: Place marshmallow creme in a small microwave-safe bowl and warm in 10-15 second intervals until soft and easy to pipe.
  13. Pipe Marshmallow Topping: Transfer the warmed marshmallow creme into a piping bag, cut off the tip, and drizzle it artistically over the rolls.
  14. Final Garnish: Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips and Mallo Bits over the top of the rolls to complete their decadent look and flavor.
  15. Rest Before Serving: Allow the rolls to rest for about 10 minutes so the toppings set slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
  • Do not skip the second rise for soft, fluffy rolls.
  • Adjust the amount of mini chocolate chips based on your preferred level of chocolate richness.
  • Let the marshmallow creme cool slightly before piping to avoid burns.
  • For extra gooeyness, warm the rolls slightly before serving.
