- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Chocolate Glaze: Heat cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit, then whisk until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Serve and enjoy!
