Ingredients for Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls

To make these Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 box triple chocolate cake mix
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 cups warm water
• 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 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 (like Hershey’s)
• 2 disposable piping bags to drizzle the marshmallow cream and the chocolate sauce

Preparing the Dough for Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls

To start, you’ll need to prepare the dough for your Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, warm water, active dry yeast, and canola oil. Mix until a dough forms. Then, knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it’s doubled in size.

Assembling and Baking the Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls

Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough out into a rectangle, then brush it with the melted butter. Sprinkle the Mallo Bits, cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips over the dough. Tightly roll the dough into a log, then cut it into even slices and place them in a greased baking pan.

Bake the Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls for 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Let them cool slightly, then use the disposable piping bags to drizzle the marshmallow creme and chocolate sauce over the top. Add extra Mallo Bits or chocolate chips if desired.

Tips for Perfect Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls

Here are a few tips to ensure your Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls turn out perfectly:

• Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough for 5-7 minutes helps develop the gluten, resulting in a soft, fluffy texture.
• Don’t overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the rolls with too many Mallo Bits or chocolate chips, as this can cause them to overflow during baking.
• Experiment with fillings: Try swapping the Mallo Bits for chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a drizzle of caramel for a unique twist.
• Reheat leftovers: To keep the rolls soft and gooey, reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect accompaniment to a hot cup of coffee or cocoa. They also pair beautifully with other classic desserts, like Chocolate Chip Cookies or Cinnamon Sugar Donuts. For a special treat, try serving them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make hot chocolate marshmallow cinnamon rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls ahead of time. Prepare the dough and assemble the rolls, then cover and refrigerate them. When ready to bake, simply remove them from the fridge and let them come to room temperature before baking as directed.

What type of marshmallows work best for these cinnamon rolls?

The Mallo Bits work best for these Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls, as they are small and easy to distribute throughout the dough. You can also use mini marshmallows or even chopped regular-sized marshmallows if you prefer.

Can I use store-bought dough instead of homemade?

How should I store leftovers to keep them soft and gooey?

To keep your Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls soft and gooey, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also reheat individual rolls in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to revive the warm, melty texture.
