Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your oven is hot enough to create a perfect golden-brown crust on your Blooming Chocolate Swirl Balls.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate swirl balls from sticking and make for an easier cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. This mixture will be used to coat the biscuit dough balls, giving them a sweet and aromatic flavor.
- Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the dough into individual biscuits. You should have about 12 pieces.
- Take one biscuit and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a few chocolate chips in the center of the dough.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the chocolate chips, pinching the seams to seal them inside. Roll the dough into a ball shape, ensuring the chocolate is fully enclosed.
- Repeat the process with the remaining biscuits and chocolate chips until you have 12 chocolate-filled balls.
- In a separate bowl, pour the melted butter. Dip each chocolate swirl ball into the melted butter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- After dipping in butter, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are well-coated. This will add a delicious sweetness and hint of spice to each bite.
- Place the coated chocolate swirl balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Once all the balls are on the baking sheet, place them in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- After baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Blooming Chocolate Swirl Balls cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate inside set slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the gooey chocolate surprise inside each delightful ball!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 350°F for even baking and that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Seal Carefully: When folding the biscuit dough around chocolate chips, pinch the edges thoroughly to prevent chocolate from leaking during baking.
- Don't Overcrowd: Space your balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Butter Coating Trick: Fully coat each ball in melted butter before rolling in cinnamon-sugar for maximum flavor and a crispy exterior.
- Serve Warm: These balls are best enjoyed slightly warm when the chocolate is still soft and gooey.
- Storage Tip: If you have leftovers (rare, but possible!), store in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore that fresh-baked magic.
