Chocolate Chips Swirl Bun

I was reading through my frequent food blogs and was attracted by this wonderful bun recipe from Elinluv’s Corner. The buns look so delicious.

It was so fun to see them rising in the oven and the aroma of the chocolate was very nice. It made me mouth watering… I can’t wait to try them! :P Frankly, it was really really good. Like Elinluv said, “Two thumbs up for this delicious bun”. For my version, I’ve modified the ingredients a little in which I added in some chocolate chips. You can find the original recipe here.
