How to serve Gooey Chocolate Rolls

These rolls are best served warm. You can plate them individually or serve them straight from the baking dish. They taste great on their own or can be paired with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

How to store Gooey Chocolate Rolls

To store the rolls, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate them for a week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the rolls. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil.

Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure to measure your flour correctly; spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off for accuracy.
  • If you prefer a less sweet roll, reduce the amount of sugar slightly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.

Variations & Substitutions

You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture. Try using different types of chocolate chips, like white chocolate or butterscotch, to change up the flavor. For a more decadent treat, drizzle some caramel sauce over the rolls right before serving.
