Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine 1 cup of warm milk with 2 packets of active dry yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of cocoa powder, 0.5 cups of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Add the melted butter and yeast mixture, kneading until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  5. Punch down the risen dough, roll it into a rectangle about 0.5 inches thick on a floured surface.
  6. Spread 0.5 cups of melted butter on the dough surface.
  7. Mix together 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 0.5 cups of brown sugar, sprinkling it over the buttered dough with 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  8. Starting from one long side, roll the dough into a tight log and slice into thick rolls, about 2 inches each.
  9. Place the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space in between.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let rolls rise for 20 minutes.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven, drizzle with melted chocolate or icing, and serve warm.
