I’ll be honest, I haven’t met a sticky bun that I didn’t love and I’m always looking for excuses to make them so it was time to come up with something new.

Why are these sticky buns outrageous?

Salted caramel and chocolate are two of my very favorite things and I’ve never seen it in a bun before so I just had to try it. These buns came out absolutely amazing!  The balance between the bittersweet dark chocolate, salted caramel, and the soft bun is pure perfection! These Sticky buns are gooey, addictive and although they are fabulous warm, they just as good leftover the next day (and they warm up nicely with just 15-20 seconds in the microwave).

How To Test Your Microwave For Proving

Firstly check your microwave owner’s manual to see if proofing is recommended. If you don’t have your manual, try the following: Place two tablespoons of cold stick margarine in a glass cup in the middle of the microwave (don’t use corn oil spread or shortening sticks).  Cook uncovered on 10% power (low) for 4 minutes.  If the margarine doesn’t completely melt, your microwave can proof yeast dough.  If it does melt then your microwave is too powerful and will kill the yeast making your dough rock hard.  If your microwave does not pass the test, you can proof the dough the old fashioned way.

Step by Step Instructions

Make the dough. Here’s what to do: Knead the dough and leave to rise. Roll into a sheet. Make the caramel. Pour the mixture into a glass 8×8 inch baking dish. Top the rolled dough with melted butter and scatter with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and chocolate chips. Beginning at the longer side, roll up the dough into a sausage shape and pinch the edge together to seal. Cut into 10 – 12 slices. Place the buns on the pan with the caramel leaving a bit of room for the second rise (about 2 inches). Repeat the dough rising process until doubled in size and then bake until golden.  Let it cool for 5 minutes before Turing onto a serving plate. Enjoy!
