Making the Rolls
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Pour in the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a sticky dough forms, and knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll your dough into a 16×10-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle it evenly with the brown sugar-cocoa mixture, followed by the chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies.
- Tightly roll up the dough from the long side and slice into 12 equal rolls. Place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30–40 minutes until they're puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 22–25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Beat the cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and peppermint extract. Add milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional crushed peppermint bark on top for a festive finish.

Notes
Ensure milk is warm to properly activate yeast and avoid using cold ingredients. Keep a close eye on baking rolls to prevent over-browning.
