TGIF Yipeeee!!! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Hi friends! Enjoying your Friday? Going out tonight? Netflix and chili con carne? ๐Ÿ˜‚

If you remember last weekend we planned to go out of town but then canceled due to snow storm. We finally decided to drive to the other town (3 H away) on Monday and since the road was so bad with hard ice, gravel and strong wind blowing snow, we returned home with a huge crack on our windshield that it needs to be replaced ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Anyhoo, the passing week was so eventful for us that this weekend we have vowed to not go anywhere, not even for grocery shopping! Yeah, you guessed right, that car is resting now, waiting for the windshield to be replaced - hence, no plan for no where ๐Ÿ˜Œ My gf did text me, she is flying out to Vancouver tomorrow morning and might drop off her car here, should we have space, so crossing fingers ๐Ÿ˜‚

Anyhoo, today I'd like to share you how I made these Chocolate Snails!

While living in Hungary, I learned the Hungarian style of "cinnamon" rolls is very different to North American, as where ours is soft buns, the Hungarians rolls almost like puff pastry but firmer.

Before going vegan I tried to replicate those Hungarian chocolate rolls - called kakaos csiga - translates to chocolate snails, yes the filling is chocolate (milk) powder rather than cinnamon powder. I could never get the texture, sadly. I tried tons of recipes by Hungarians too in fact, and homemade is just different texture to bakeries, which is odd that ALL bakeries in any parts of the country had the same texture, yet none of homemade by Hungarians could achieve so.

One time I thought it was super close, I was darn happy, but rookie mistake I didn't note down ingredients I used and picture files were just buried in the hard drive, I completely forgotten how to achieve the same texture again ๐Ÿ˜ซ

So anyways, I've given up to try to produce the same chocolate snails as Hungarian stores/bakeries ๐Ÿ˜‚

Now that am dairy free, egg free living, my chocolate snails are more to North American style rolls, but daaaayuuuuum these are awesome , that I no longer miss those authetic rolls from Hungary ๐Ÿ˜‚

Give them a try and see how you like them ๐Ÿ˜Š
