Chocolate Orange Cinnamon Rolls
Celebrate the most delicious Christmas flavor combo with these Chocolate Orange Cinnamon Rolls! Chocolate, orange, and cinnamon, it’s as good as it gets! These rolls are festive, soft, pillowy, deliciously sweet, and so delightful. For sure, a crowd-pleaser during the holidays! I like to serve them right out of the oven while the chocolate is still gooey and the rolls are warm.
What’s great about these chocolate cinnamon rolls is that there’s no need to let the dough rise a second time. Just place the rolls in a cold oven, shut the door, and turn the oven on to 350 °F. The dough will complete its final rise while the oven preheats. Plus, this will cut down the overall cooking time. Win-win! Serve these chocolatey melt-in-your-mouth rolls fresh out of the oven garnished with sweet orange glaze and fresh orange zest, and enjoy!
