If you love chocolate and peanut butter together… I mean who doesn’t though?! You’ll love these!!
So for the dough, I simply substituted a little cocoa in for some flour. Simple as that!
The filling…. the usual cinnamon mixture with melted peanut butter smeared on top. Yup… it’s that easy!
Roll them. Proof them. Bake them. Frost them. Make them disappear.
