This was a huge success! I made them for my gf and she completely loved them. They’re very easy to make and fast too I spend maybe just a couple of hours and they were ready to eat. I’d bake them again and again.. This sweet mash-up is hands down the most delicious way to eat cinnamon rolls.. The icing tastes good and makes a pretty contrast with the rolls.
