Easy Mini Chocolate Sweet Rolls Recipe (2024)

Last year I made the yummiest mini pumpkin cinnamon rolls ever and this year I knew I wanted to try the recipe out again, this time with chocolate. If you like chocolate, then you will absolutely love these mini chocolate sweet rolls. Even my husband, who isn’t a big chocolate fan, ate six.

You probably know by now from my mini calzones, breakfast rolls, and egg and sausage muffins that I love using refrigerated crescent rolls as a shortcut to making delicious baked goods. Well, these are no exception. I do make homemade rolls and cinnamon rolls from scratch every so often but not this weekend. And seriously, if the pre-made stuff tastes so good, I say why not use it?

I’ll make a confession. I was originally going to make apple pie cinnamon rolls because it’s fall and all, but I really don’t love warm apples all that much. And I knew my husband wouldn’t love these because they’re full of chocolately goodness, and I kind of wanted to have them all week long. Well, between my husband and me, they didn’t last more than an hour. Oh well. Good thing they only took like 20 minutes to make, so I can whip up another batch this week just for me.

Now I know you want to see how I made these babies. Seriously, so easy!

Start by melting your chocolate! You can do it however you’d like, but I melt my chocolate in the microwave. Once melted, mix with cream cheese and sugar to create your filling.

Lay out the crescent rolls, cover with chocolate mixture, and roll into a log.

Now comes the fun part. Use dental floss to cut the log into 1/2 inch sized rolls. If you don’t have dental floss, you should get some now or so says my dentist. This is a trick my mom taught me, and it works like a charm. Just wrap the dental floss around the roll and pull together, slicing through the dough perfectly. Put those perfectly sliced rolls into a mini muffin tin.

And bake for just about 10 minutes. Then cover with chocolate frosting and devour quickly or else you’ll have to share.
