It tastes like a cinnamon roll without the hours of making, kneading dough for cinnamon rolls.

While these are something you may not make everyday this is definitely a sweet treat you’ll want to try on occasion. And once you try them you’ll want any excuse to make them. They are so good! These are meant for a yummy breakfast treat and they definitely work as a fun little dessert too! They are best served warm with the side of cream cheese dip. It tastes just like the cream cheese topping smeared on those warm cinnamon rolls you get at the mall. I can’t even look at them or I gain 10 pounds but man those are some good buns!
