    In a large bowl, combine milk mixture, yeast, cane sugar, sea salt, egg whites and cocoa powder; stir well to combine. Stir in the flour; beat well. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

    Deflate dough and turn it out onto a well floured surface. Roll dough out into a rectangle and spread with margarine.
  • 4
    Sprinkle with chopped chocolate covered peanuts, chopped dark chocolate bars and milk chocolate chips.

    Roll up dough and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place rolls in two lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
