🇭🇺 Kakaós Csiga – Hungarian Chocolate Swirl Rolls

Yesss, Ashley! 🎉 Let’s get into Kakaós Csiga — Hungary’s answer to the chocolate roll dream. 🇭🇺🐌
Literally translated as “Cocoa Snail”, these swirly, chocolatey sweet rolls are every Hungarian kid’s favorite bakery treat (and honestly, adults never grow out of them either).

Fluffy, buttery dough filled with rich cocoa-sugar, rolled like a cinnamon bun — and sometimes brushed with a sweet glaze after baking. They’re soft, chocolatey, and absolutely nostalgic.
