My DH and I have an addiction. I am embarrassed to talk about it. It started out that we would share one when we were at the mall. Then we started having one for ourselves. This upped to two each w/extra frosting. And then, well, then we started going to the mall just to satisfy our craving. We couldnāt last 2-3 days without a hit of its gooey center. It became our friend, there when we needed it. But then things changed when we left the country. None of the product is available south of the border. Our withdrawals were getting worse. It was either kick the habit for good or take things into our own hands.
So we started making the product at home. It was a scary endeavor, so many things could go wrong. Everything had to be perfect or it would be a complete bust. But alas! The time and energy spent was well worth it. Our CinnabonĀ Cinnamon RollsĀ were Delicious and satisfying. No other product can compare.

- Be generous with the cinnamon sugar and don’t skimp on the baking time ā these babies need to be golden brown and crispy on the outside!
- Serve them warm with ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy!
