Chocolate Rolls (bollitos De Pan)
My grandmother, Abuela, would make these chocolate rolls for her kids every day and as a sweet surprised she would put a square of chocolate in the middle.
I adapted my Abuela’s original recipe and make it for my kids, which is so cool. Back when the kids were still going to school (pre-pandemic) they would take one or 2 of these rolls for their mid morning school snack.
I love how easy this dough is and there is minimal rising time, which means it’s quick and so simple.
My Moroccan grandmother called these rolls bollitos de pan in Spanish. These are soft dinner rolls that my grandmother would stuff with chocolate. They are so quick and easy to make and the dough is a dream to work with.
Great for an afternoon snack or a lunch for school.
I love this Roso Glaze non-stick loaf pan from Cook and Bake, but you can use any loaf pan. If yours is not non-stick I recommend lining the pan with baking paper before baking.

Yes! This recipe freezes really well. I recommend separating the rolls and freezing them in a large ziplock bag. This way, in the morning the kids can take them out of the freezer and heat them up in the oven as well as pack them up for school.
Another one of my grandmothers recipes, these Binuelos are the best!
And these Easy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies from my blog are a huge hit.
