3 – Prepare your chocolate topping by mixing all the ingredients in the microwave for 30 seconds.

4 – Flour your work surface well, roll out your dough into a rectangle, and spread the chocolate filling, leaving a border around the edges to prevent it from spilling out. Roll up the dough. You can add chopped pecans, walnuts, or pine nuts!
