Happy Friday everybody!! and hello awesomely long weekend with lots of pink and red candy thrown in, hehe. So I have one more post to share with you guys that’s a perfect last minute treat for Valentine’s Day.
I know, I know, cinnamon rolls are probably not the typical Valentine’s Day food, but don’t you think that these delicious little cinnamon roll bites might just be perfect to serve for breakfast to your special Valentine (insert winking face here)?
Even I was surprised at how perfect these turned out and how easy they were to throw together, I mean, like super easy y’all. Of course I cheated by using store bought cinnamon rolls but who cares because these were so good.
These little bites were just enough cooked on top to allow them to be perfectly gooey and wonderful in the middle, and cooking them in a skillet keeps them so deliciously warm too. I hope everyone has an absolutely wonderful and (hopefully) romantic weekend, early Happy Valentine’s Day y’all!
Nicely buttered skillet, with butter placed in the bottom…
in the oven getting its melt on…
mmm, cinnamon rolls…
cut these bad boys up…
into the skillet…
bake, bake, bake…
throw a little more butter on top while they’re hot out of the oven, and now for the icing…
mmmmm…
and enjoy!!!
- 1(12 Ounce) Pillsbury Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls (Includes 8 Large Rolls & Icing).
- 2-4 Tablespoons of Salted Butter.
- 8" Iron Skillet.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease the bottom and sides of your iron skillet, and place about 2 tablespoons of salted butter in the bottom of your skillet.
- Place your skillet into the oven until butter is melted, remove from the oven and swirl around your skillet to make sure the melted butter is evenly distributed in the bottom.
- Remove your cinnamon rolls from the can and cutting so that each cinnamon roll is in quarters.
- Evenly place your cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom of your pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until just slightly golden brown on top (don't over cook you want them gooey).
- Before your cinnamon rolls are done baking zap your icing in the microwave (remove the metal top first haha) for 10 second intervals until the icing is super gooey (just watch it, don't want it to overflow).
- Remove your cinnamon rolls from the oven and place some more butter on top to let melt, and evenly pour your icing all over, and enjoy!!!
- If you don't have a skillet, a pie dish or a small baking dish would be good substitutes.
I’ve seen vanilla made with Vodka before (not so sure about the taste on that one) but don’t think I’ve seen it made with Brandy (if you make it this way, sorry haha and let me know), but anyways, why buy vanilla extract when you can make your own for way less and about a gazillion times more delicious? Exactly! there’s no reason you shouldn’t, but obviously this is a recipe that has to sit for a hot second, so don’t think you can make some in a day haha. 
Right now, I have 2 bottles of this stuff in my pantry-the new one I just made for the blog and to replenish from giving so much away for Christmas and another one from summer, it smells incredible btw. 
So yeah, I keep a little bottle of already made vanilla next to the stove, and keep the bottles of it (yes, keep the vanilla beans in) in the pantry. Happy Hump Day y’all, and let me know if you make yourself some homemade vanilla 🙂
slice each of your vanilla beans down the middle (don’t scrape the insides out)…
all of your vanilla beans sliced down the middle…
now place all of them into your bottle…
after all of them are placed in your bottle, place the top on and shake, shake the bottle and you’re done! (well, in 8 weeks it will be ready)…
and enjoy!!
