Chocolate Covered Strawberry Sweet Rolls

Taking Chocolate Covered Strawberries to a whole new level. These Chocolate Covered Strawberry Sweet Rolls are the perfect way to wow your brunch crowd. 

I’ve adapted my regular dough into a chocolate dough and switched up my fillings. I’ve even added a chocolate strawberry cream cheese frosting for these! Top them with a chocolate covered strawberry to give it a little extra even! I mean… that’s what I’d do 😛

I hope you enjoy these rolls as much as we have! 🙂

5. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down.
