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
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Rolls
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter onto each slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cup pieces evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Roll up each slice tightly into a log shape, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Step 3: Dip in Egg Mixture
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
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Place the rolls seam-side down in the skillet, leaving space between them.
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
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.
Let the chocolate cool slightly so it thickens but remains pourable.
Step 6: Serve
Transfer the cooked rolls to a serving plate and dust generously with powdered sugar.
Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top in a zigzag pattern for added flair.
Serve warm alongside maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries if desired
Tips for Success
Bread Selection : Use thicker slices of bread for easier rolling and sturdier structure. Stale bread works well too—it absorbs the egg mixture better!
Filling Balance : Don’t overload the rolls with filling, or they might fall apart during cooking. Keep it light but flavorful.
Customization : Swap peanut butter cups for Nutella or add sliced bananas for a fruity twist.
