Cinnamon roll bites
- 20 partially frozen Rhodes rolls

- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3-4 Tbsp. heavy cream
Instructions
- Partially thaw rolls at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This will keep rolls from sticking to each other. Cut each roll into 4 pieces using scissors.

- In a large Ziplock bag add brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp. vanilla, shake to mix well. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl melt 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter. Add roll pieces to melted butter and quickly coat using a large spoon or your hands.
- Add buttered rolls to Ziplock bag with cinnamon sugar topping. Shake bag to coat pieces thoroughly.
- Dump coated rolls into prepared baking dish and cover for 30 minutes or until noticeably puffed up.
- Take remaining cinnamon sugar topping from Ziplock bag and add it to a small mixing bowl with the remaining 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter. Stir well.
- Once cinnamon roll bites have slightly puffed up, drizzle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over rolls and then pour 1/2 cup heavy cream in between individual rolls.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cinnamon roll bites in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown and center is done.
- Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until well combined. Drizzle glaze over warm cinnamon roll bites. Best when served warm, enjoy!
