Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (5 count) can of Jumbo or Grands! store-bought cinnamon rolls with icing
- Easter colored sprinkles, as desired
- Easter colored M&M’s, for decoration (2 per bunny for eyes, 1 per bunny for nose)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cinnamon roll can or recipe you are using. Then separate each cinnamon roll from the can so you can start shaping them.
- Shape Bunnies: Take each cinnamon roll and use your hands to pull the outer end out and upwards to create one bunny ear, then repeat to create the second ear. Press down firmly between the ears and along the outside edges to secure the ear shapes to the round body of the cinnamon roll. Place each shaped roll onto a baking sheet, adjusting the shape as needed so they resemble bunnies.
- Bake and Reinforce: Bake the buns in the oven for the time recommended on the can or recipe. About halfway through the baking time, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven (the rolls will be warm) and use the handle of a spoon or your hands to gently re-shape and reinforce the bunny ears and form if necessary.
- Finish Baking: Return the shaped cinnamon rolls to the oven and bake until fully cooked as per the original instructions.
- Decorate: Once baked, remove from the oven and while still warm, drizzle the included icing over each bunny cinnamon roll. Immediately sprinkle with Easter colored sprinkles and place two round M&M’s on each bun for the eyes and one for the nose to complete the bunny face. Serve warm and enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- Use jumbo-sized or large store-bought cinnamon rolls for the best bunny shape and size.
- Be careful when handling the rolls during baking—they will be hot!
- You can customize the colors and types of sprinkles and candies to your preference.
- If the cinnamon roll dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands to help shape the ears.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm fresh from the oven.
