Decoration Tips: These buns look as good as they taste, especially when finished off with a touch of culinary flair. Before baking, a brush of egg wash not only helps the chocolate chips adhere but also gives the buns a glossy, golden finish. After baking, a light dusting of powdered sugar can add a snowy effect, perfect for festive occasions. If serving at a more casual gathering, simply displaying them on a rustic wooden board or a colorful platter enhances their homemade charm.
