CHOCOLATE BRIOCHE BUNS – A SOUTHERNER’S DREAM Recipes

Chocolate Brioche is one of my very favorite pastries or brunch item.  It is great for a morning sweet with your coffee or a great dessert anytime.    This recipe is for brioche rolls.  A nice easy way to add some delicious chocolate to your homemade rolls.  The French knew what they were doing when they combined dark chocolate in their breads and pastries.
