Recipe for world’s best chocolate buns
Is there really anything better than freshly baked warm chocolate buns on a somewhat gray autumn day? Or actually on any given day? I don’t think so! This recipe is the best I’ve made so far for chocolate buns; they turn out exactly the way I want them: buttery-soft and airy, filled with small gooey chocolate bombs and a twist of cardamom. They taste faaaantastic! And they only get even better with a bit of butter and a cup of coffee or cocoa.
As a bonus, they are easy to make, and just go ahead and bake a good big batch because they can easily be frozen and warmed up as needed – then they will taste like freshly baked.
