In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, yeast, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the warm water while mixing, until a dough starts to form. Add the vegetable oil and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Roll the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece slightly and spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter in the center. Fold the dough edges over the peanut butter and shape into a smooth ball.
Using your finger, poke a hole in the center of each dough ball and gently stretch it to form a bagel shape. Place the formed bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the baking soda to the boiling water.
Boil the bagels, 2-3 at a time, for 1 minute on each side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the boiled bagels with the beaten egg and sprinkle the tops with chocolate chips for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels are firm and lightly browned.
Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Bagels!
