I received the products from the Imperial Sugar as a part of #Choctoberfest. However all opinions are mine.
When I was in Stockholm every Saturday morning I would leave my apartment around 10.00 AM for shopping and come back only after 5-6 in the evening. If you ask me can you do it now I don’t know? At the same time to get immediate energy if I left hungry I always carried in my back pack a candy bar called “Bounty candy bar”, similar to “Almond Joy” we get here. Yes it is full of chocolate, coconut and almond. I fell in love with that combination forever. It rekindled my memories and decided to add that wonderful combination in these rolls. Thus I made Chocolate coconut almond rolls with caramel glaze. It is delicious and easy to make. Great as breakfast treat.
I used dough recipe from “Better Homes and Gardens” magazine again, nowadays my Wal-Mart shopping always include a stop at magazine aisle other than my usual aisles for shopping. Where I flip the magazines and look for the interesting recipes. While flipping magazine I found the rolls cooked in skillet. As I need to use Imperial sugar’s granulated sugar which I got for Choctberfest. I decide to make only the rolls and for that I used the dough recipe from the magazine. The filling is my own version along with homemade caramel sauce which I added on the top of rolls. These are delicious ones. I used only a small amount of sugar for filling. If you want you can increase the amount of sugar in filling to make it really sweet.
These chocolate coconut almond rolls have very less sugar. I didn’t add any extra coconut for garnishing you can add that if you want. If you want the rolls for breakfast make it in the night so that it can be ready in the morning or you can freeze them. These are delicious. The dough has secret ingredient sour cream that leaves tangy hind in the background. You can have these rolls with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.
Why wait if you are fan of chocolate and goes nuts for coconut just like me. Nutty almond give a nice crunchy companion to the soft bread dough, here is the recipe.
Please take time to enter the Imperial sugaryou will get a chance to win lot of chocolate, sugar, honey etc.

What a great sounding afternoon sweet treat, I keep meaning to make an old fashioned British equivalent to this but never get round to it.

This is one of the BEST variations on a cinnamon roll recipe I've ever seen! I love that combination of almond, chocolate and coconut, too. I don't think I'd make it through the whole recipe without stealing a little of the filling before it went into the oven:) Saving this one for one of those chilly Fall Sunday breakfast mornings. Thanks!
