These delightful brioche rolls are a perfect blend of soft, sweet dough and rich chocolate chips. After the dough has risen to perfection, each roll is filled with a decadent chocolate ganache, making them an indulgent treat. The rolls are brushed with an egg yolk and milk mixture before baking, then sprinkled with granulated sugar for a slight crunch. Once baked and slightly cooled, they're filled with smooth chocolate ganache and dusted with powdered sugar for a luxurious finish.
