Cresent Cinnamon Rolls

Have you ever had a craving for cinnamon rolls?  Ya know that craving that you just can't get rid of?  Cinnamon and sugar and icing - three of my favorite things all in one.  I crave chocolate like most of the women in the universe, but cinnamon and sugar are right up there with chocolate for me. 

So, last week Hubby and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and I just couldn't contain my craving any longer.  After battling it for days, I finally gave in.  I'd just make some canned cinnamon rolls really quick and eat a few and saved the rest for the kids for breakfast.  But, alas, we didn't have any canned cinnamon rolls.  But, I had cresent rolls.  Oh yeah, baby! 

I rolled out the canned dough and spread a little softened butter and sprinkled a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar.  I rolled up the cresents and sprinkled a little more cinnamon and sugar.  Then I baked them according to the directions (I think it was 375 degrees for 12 minutes or so).



Top with powdered sugar, milk and vanilla mixed together for the icing.  Sometimes I add a little softened cream cheese to the mixture.  SO YUMMY! 



They are so fabulous and buttery and delicious....so I ate a  lot of them, four to be exact.  I shared with Hubby.  I didn't save any for the kids  - they were asleep - ya snooze, ya lose, right?  I am such a bad mom.  I guess that's why I gained 3 pounds last week.  Oh well.  More of me to love.  Maybe that's why my Hubby calls my backside cinnamon buns!  I know, TMI!

I'm linking up to Tasty Tuesday @ Balancing Beauty and Bedlam and Tempt My Tummy Tuesday @ Blessed With Grace.

  6. He calls them cinnamon buns??? That is just adorable and makes me giggle.

    I love cinnamon and sugar too. Snickerdoodles are my specialty, in fact.

    I WANT to make this, but I will resist.
    I think...
