CINNAMON CHOCOLATE CHIP ROLLS

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Rolls image

I started adding chocolate chips to my cinnamon rolls because several children didn't like the raisins in them. The chocolate and cinnamon are a fun flavor combination. My family loves them, and so does my Sunday school class. -Patty Wynn, Pardeevlle, Wisconsin
