Instructions

• In a saucepan, put the milk and butter together and turn burner on low until melted.

• Spread on the filling and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top!

• Starting at a short end, roll the dough.
• If you want smaller Cinnamon rolls, cut the dough in half before you roll it up!
• Cut the dough to the size you want. The thicker you want, the farther apart you cut!
• Place the rolls, swirl down, in a greased 9×13 pan.

• Preheat your oven to 375 Degrees F. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Then cover loosely with foil and bake another 10 minutes.
