About

We've all looked at the classic cinnamon roll swirl and wondered what else we could fit into those golden-brown curls. The answer is quite a lot of creamy sweet goodness! Candied Cinnamon Rolls fill each swirling superstar with the nutty goodness of peanut butter and the rich chocolatey wonder of hazelnut and chocolate spread. Then of course, to really get that sugar rush going, each one is topped with icing and sprinkled with chocolate-coated peanuts for a sweet, sweet crunch. Candied Cinnamon Rolls bring a new sunniness to the day, starting from the very first bite!
