You can boil them less for sure, but what I meant by rotate was to switch the top baking sheet with the bottom baking sheet in the oven. I’m glad despite the troubles they still came out delicious!

The dough went together perfectly, although it took significant effort to get the chocolate chips mixed in (I did it all by hand). My dough never really rose – perhaps I needed to knead it more. I ended up not leaving the bagels in the boiling water for the full two minutes because they seemed to be disintegrating. I set a timer for baking them, and then forgot to start it, so they ended up a bit over-baked. But delicious. I also made the peanut butter /cream cheese mix, which is nice, but both of us felt it overwhelmed the chocolate flavor of the bagels. So I have two questions for you: 1) does the amount of time in the boiling water make a difference, or is half of what you specified okay? 2) when you say “rotate” the bagels half way through baking, did you mean to flip them over? (that’s what I did, because I figured that’s what was intended). I’ll definitely have to make these again. Thanks for “forcing” me to try something new. ????

Hahahaha yes start now! These bagels are some of the best I’ve made. As for the honey, obviously you can use any other sweetener but the actual chocolate honey is from my family’s honey company if you are interested in it (http://winterparkhoney.com/shop/chocolate-honey/). Bob and I managed to survive the game, mostly because he didn’t rub it in my face too much haha.

My weight has been going the wrong way, so you post double/triple chocolate bagels? They sound wonderful and look wonderful. I’ve never heard of chocolate honey and have no idea where to find it. I’m also not sure whether the honey flavor would bring down the chocolate, or the chocolate would bring up the honey (I’m not a huge fan of honey, except perhaps mesquite honey, which is milder than a lot of honey). Whatever the honey situation, I think I’m going to have to try my hand at baking bagels – it’s never too late to start, right? Anyway I hope that you, Bob, and your house survive the war zone and that these bagels are the peacemakers that they would have to be, given that they are chocolate.
