Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 box triple chocolate cake mix
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp canola oil

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, melted
  • 1 cup Mallo Bits plus more for topping
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 – 2 cups mini chocolate chips plus more for topping
  • 1 7 oz jar marshmallow creme
  • Chocolate sauce (such as Hershey’s)
  • 2 disposable piping bags for drizzling marshmallow cream and chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the triple chocolate cake mix, 2 1/2 cups flour, warm water, and 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast. Mix until the ingredients are slightly combined.
  2. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead until well combined and the dough bounces back when touched.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough into a large glass bowl, brush 1 tbsp canola oil over the top of the dough and the sides of the bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Roll Out Dough: After rising, place the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Apply Filling: Brush the rolled dough evenly with the melted butter. Sprinkle 1 cup of Mallo Bits, 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips, and 2 tbsp cinnamon evenly over the surface.
  6. Form Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Cut into 1 1/2 inch thick slices to form individual rolls.
  7. Second Rise: Place the rolls into a baking dish, cover again with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another hour.
  8. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) once the second rise is complete.
  9. Bake: Bake the cinnamon rolls in the oven for 30 minutes until cooked through and golden on top.
  10. Cool: Let the baked rolls cool for about 20 minutes to set.
  11. Drizzle Chocolate Sauce: Use chocolate sauce to drizzle over the cooled cinnamon rolls evenly.
  12. Prepare Marshmallow Drizzle: Place marshmallow creme in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 10-15 second intervals until soft and pliable.
  13. Drizzle Marshmallow Creme: Transfer the softened marshmallow creme into a piping bag, cut the tip, and drizzle over the cinnamon rolls.
  14. Final Toppings: Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips and Mallo Bits on top for extra texture and flavor.
  15. Rest and Serve: Wait about 10 minutes after decorating before enjoying the rolls to allow toppings to set.

Notes

  • Ensure the warm water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast; it should feel lukewarm to the touch.
  • Kneading the dough well is crucial for light, fluffy cinnamon rolls.
  • If parchment paper is available, line the baking dish to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • The marshmallow creme can be gently warmed on the stovetop in a double boiler if preferred instead of microwaving.
  • Allowing the rolls to cool slightly before adding the drizzle prevents them from melting the chocolate and marshmallow too much.
