Peanut Butter Sweet Rolls with Chocolate Drizzle

These sweet rolls are the light and fluffy with just a touch of peanut butter filling and a delicious chocolate glaze.  Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the best flavor combos, so I know everyone will love these!

How to Make Peanut Butter Sweet Rolls

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Sweet Rolls with Chocolate Drizzle from missinthekitchen

I gathered up the basic homemade bread dough ingredients (forgetting to grab an egg for the photo).  My favorite Red Star Yeast, all purpose flour, butter, milk, an egg,  sugar and salt. This is the base for many of my favorite dinner rolls and I knew it would produce a soft and fluffy sweet roll.

Don’t be intimidated by yeast but make sure that your yeast is fresh and not expired!  I’ve made that mistake so many times and it can be disappointing.

Red Star Yeast gives me dependable results, every single time.  I’ve learned a lot from Red Star Yeast’s Baking Tips and Baking Lessons!

I added the liquid ingredients plus the sugar and yeast to the mixing bowl and let the mixture set until it started to bubble.  I stirred in the dry ingredients, adding the flour 1 cup at a time until the dough came together.

I really like to knead the dough by hand but you can totally use your mixer.  I covered the dough and let it rise for about 45 minutes.

I rolled the dough out using a wine bottle because I still have much of my kitchen packed up until the log cabin is finished.

My rolling job was not perfect but this dough is forgiving and easy to shape!  Make do with what you got, right?  I spread a mixture of peanut butter, cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar over the dough and rolled it up from the long side.

I buttered the pan, and scattered the rolls around with a little space for rising.

I let them rise for about an hour and a half, but and hour probably would’ve been fine.

I set the timer on my phone for 15 minutes and when I started to smell the rolls, I went to check them and they were done.  I realized one of the boys had picked up my phone and ran away with it.

I hollered and asked how much time was left on the timer.  The response- “20 minutes”  uh huh, thanks for helping, I only set it for 15!  Boys!
