Guys. These chocolate chip cinnamon rolls are really good. For some reason, I didn’t expect them to be as good as they were. Sometimes that happens to me. I go in with mediocre expectations and come away fully impressed. I like when it happens.
I hadn’t had a decent cinnamon roll in a long time. I used to enjoy stopping at Cinnabon at the mall every once in awhile. Then I realized they’re like 1,000 calories so I cut out that treat.
These cinnamon rolls are much smaller than a Cinnabon, but they’re only about 200 calories each. MUCH better.
INGREDIENTS
- Crescent Rolls – I used the “rounds” for these.
- Butter
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Mini Chocolate Chips
- Powdered Sugar
- Milk
- Vanilla Extract
TIPS & TRICKS
- I use Pillsbury Crescent Rounds for these rolls. If you have regular crescents on hand, I think they’ll work fine.
- Line the bottom of your baking dish with parchment paper cut in the shape of a circle to make clean up easier.
- After you roll up each dough strip, gently pinch the ends together so they stay in place.
- If you don’t eat them all in one sitting, these cinnamon rolls will warm up nicely in the microwave but they only need a few seconds!
Regardless, I’m happy about these. The melty chocolate in the center is delicious. They were best right out of the oven but the next day, I put one in the microwave for 9 seconds (not ten. nine.) and it was just as good.
Really easy + really good = a winner. Try them.
TOOLS FOUND ON AMAZON TO HELP YOU
- 8″ Round Pan – You can use a dark, non-stick pan or a glass dish.
- Pastry Brush – To brush the melted butter on the dough.
- Cutting Board – I like to roll the dough out on a board instead of directly on the counter.

Ah, this is a wonderful recipe, Melissa! And so simple since you are using crescent rolls. I keep saying I am going to make cinnamon rolls from scratch but I never do because I either don’t get up early enough to make the dough or I don’t make it the night before. Your method is perfect! Pinned and sharing on social media. Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Mondays!

Oh my GAWD! I love cinnamon and chocolate! Kind of like Mexican chocolate, which I LOVE. Pinning for sure!
These look SOOOOO good!! Love the addition of chocolate to these easy to make cinnamon rolls. Yum! Making these for breakfast sometime this week for sure.
SO amazing!!! YUM! Please make these for me when I’m in Detroit. I’m sure I’ll need something like this when I wake up after the wedding 🙂
I am not sure how to get the round shape since the crescent rolls are in a triangle. Can you explain further?
Hi Rhona,
If you notice in the recipe, I used Crescent Rounds which are circular & not triangles =)
