chocolate cheddar cream cheese bun...

I have been wanting to bake some bread & this chocolate bun recipe seems quick & easy for amateurs like me. The bread turned up fluffy & pillowy soft!! It tasted amazingly good when it was hot. The melted cheese lava oozes out when bitten into it. Both my husband & bb loved it a lot!! hehe The only feedback from hubby & my mum is that the filling is a bit too much. If you aren't a fan of cheese, do reduce the quantity of the cheese filling or substitute with other fillings. =)
