Conference Rolls

Yet another Easter recipe.  When I was little and my family would attend the church's semi annual General Conference, as a reward we would have a "conference feast", of which these were the highlight.  The reason there are pictures of cinnamon rolls here is because my Aunt used this recipe for the cinnamon rolls we ate after our Easter sunrise service.  Half of them weren't cinnamon rolls at all, but rolls with chocolate chips and walnuts.
