Here’s the printed recipe for your baking pleasure and ease:
- For the dough:
- 1 cup milk warmed to the touch, but not hot
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package 2½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons chocolate malted powder
- coconut oil spray
- For the filling:
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candy
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the icing:
- 2½ cups confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate malted powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candy
-
To make the dough:
-
Add the warm milk, melted butter and granulated sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer.
-
Add the yeast to the milk and butter mixture and stir well to combine.
-
Allow the mixture to sit and get foamy (approximately 10 minutes).
-
Stir the flour, salt, egg, cocoa powder, and chocolate malt powder to the bowl and stir slight to combine.
-
Switch to the dough hook for the stand mixer and thoroughly knead the dough until it comes away from the sides of the bowl, and forms a soft ball (at least 7 minutes).
-
Transfer the dough to an bowl that has been sprayed with coconut oil and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
-
Allow the dough to rise until doubled in bulk in a warm, draft free place (approximately 90 minutes).
-
Turn the dough out and pat (or roll) the dough into an approximate 12" x 17" rectangle
-
For the filling:
-
Spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
-
Top the dough with ½ cup of the crushed peppermint, and ½ cup of the chocolate chips.
-
Roll the dough, lengthwise to form a cylinder.
-
Use a serrated knife to cut the cylinder into even circles (12-15)
-
Place the rolls into a 9" x 13" baking dish that has been sprayed with coconut oil spray.
-
Place the rolls in a warm, draft free place to rise until doubled in volume (approximately 90 minutes).
-
Once doubled, preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes. Until a toothpick inserted into the center of the dough comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and cool for at least 30 minutes.
-
While the sweet rolls are cooling, prepare the icing.
-
For the icing:
-
Add all the icing ingredients into a medium bowl, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
-
Spread the icing liberally over each sweet roll and sprinkle the top of each roll with the remaining ½ cup of the crushed peppermint candy.
Tools and equipment:
Stand mixer with dough hook attachment
Zip-top bag and mallet or rolling pin (for crushing candy)
Plastic wrap
9" x 13" baking dish

And now, back to the #Choctoberfest celebration and all the fabulous food bloggers and their deliciously chocolaty recipes. By clicking on the photos below, you’ll be taken directly to their recipes. I sure do hope you’re hungry!!
But wait, before you go I’d like a chance to show you these elegant frosted Winter in the Woods wine glasses that I painted two years ago for a customer/friend who wanted them to coordinate with her holiday china collection. After receiving her glasses she was generous enough to share a photo with me of her place setting. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see her finished table setting.
If there is ever anything I can paint for you, from glassware items to fabrics, please don’t hesitate to contact me or visit one of my shops: Etsy and Wazala. I always welcome custom orders, and will happily paint and design from any photo (like the glasses show above), idea or description you send my way. I lovingly hand paint each item I ship with great attention to detail. Each glass will come in its own gift box, making them perfect for gift giving.

Until we eat again, I hope you have a delicious day!
Renee, your artwork is absolutely beautiful. I definitely need to visit your Etsy shop to explore some of your items further as well as ordering an apron for me. These rolls look fantastic. We’ll have family members staying with us between Thanksgiving and Christmas and this would be perfect to serve – so festive!
Thank you, Joanie! I’d be happy to paint something for you at anytime. Glad you like my work, and these rolls 🙂
