No, not that kind of buns!

This kind:

I found the recipe at: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/3092/chocolate-faces

No, this is NOT diet food, but I wanted to show them off.

See the web page for the complete instructions, but the weights and measures I used for the buns (not counting the filling and glaze) were: flour 455g, yeast 10g, baking powder ~15g, salt ~5g, sugar 100g, powdered milk 35g, vanilla 1tsp, 1 large egg, oil ~55g. I used a total of 250g of chocolate chips for filling the inside and drawing the faces on the outside. I didn't weigh the glaze ingredients, but it consisted of 1 egg yolk, 2 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla.

I made 32 little bears and the nutritional breakdown per bear (INCLUDING the glaze and all the chocolate, inside and out) was:

124 calories
19g carbohydrate
4g fat
3g protein
1g fiber
2g saturated fat

Have a BEARY Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

(I must confess that the whole household pitched in to decorate the faces, so I can't claim credit for all of the cuteness.)
