Ingredients

For the Rolls

  • 6–8 thick slices of bread (brioche or Texas toast works best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (whole milk or half-and-half for richness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

For the Filling

  • 4 mini peanut butter cups (or 2 regular-sized ones), chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing the pan)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

For Drizzling

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk for a thinner consistency)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Rolls

  1. Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
  2. Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter onto each slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cup pieces evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  4. Roll up each slice tightly into a log shape, pressing gently to seal the edges.

Step 3: Dip in Egg Mixture

  1. Dip each roll into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not overly saturated. Let any excess drip off before cooking.

Step 4: Cook the Rolls

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  2. Place the rolls seam-side down in the skillet, leaving space between them.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Add additional butter as needed while cooking.

Step 5: Make the Chocolate Drizzle

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.
  2. Let the chocolate cool slightly so it thickens but remains pourable.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Transfer the cooked rolls to a serving plate and dust generously with powdered sugar.
  2. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top in a zigzag pattern for added flair.
  3. Serve warm alongside maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries if desired
