Pillsbury Grands Flaky Supreme CINNABON Cinnamon Rolls make this Valentines’ treat so easy and delicious.

I like to use the Grands because it makes 5 great big cinnamon heart buns. I also like the cream cheese icing that comes with the CINNABON rolls. If you want smaller hearts you can certainly use the regular size cinnamon rolls.

Valentines day is such a sweet holiday in so many ways. Like most people I enjoy giving little treats to the people I love.  My heart crescent cinnamon rolls are a pretty little treat to serve for breakfast or to give as a homemade gift.

Start by preheating your oven to 350° F, then simply remove the buns from the tube unrolling them only half way. You want to keep the curl at one end and form a heart and a curl at the other end. Be sure to pinch the dough slightly at the bottom because when they bake they tend to spread out.

Once you have all your hearts made you can pop them in the oven and bake as the package recommends. I bake mine in a 350° F oven on a silicone-baking sheet for about 18 minutes or until golden brown but not burned.

While they are baking it is a good time to mix up the icing. I added 3 drops of red food coloring to the cream cheese frosting in a bowl and spooned it into a small plastic baggie. I then cut a small hole in one corner of the baggie so I can pipe the pink frosting decoratively over the crescents.

After rolls are cooked I like to move them onto a cooling rack. I don’t like to frost them while they are hot because the icing will melt off.

When the rolls are cool to the touch you can ice them. I like to drizzle the icing on and angle and then sprinkle them with a little pink or red cookie sugar to give them a little sparkle.

Imagine the smiles you will get when you serve these pretty hearts. When they ask you how you made them be sure to tell them that Sugar showed you how.  :)

Sugar’s Pink Heart Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

Makes 5 rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 (17-oz) tube Pillsbury Grands Flaky Supreme CINNABON Cinnamon Rolls
• 3 drops of red food coloring
• Red or pink cookie sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° F

Open the container and unroll the buns half way.  You want to keep the curl at one end and form a heart and a curl at the other end. Pinch the dough slightly at the bottom because when they bake they tend to spread out.

Bake in oven on lightly greased cookie sheet or line with a silicone-baking sheet for about 18 minutes or until golden brown but not burned.

Mix the icing from the package in a bowl with 3 drops of red food coloring. Spoon into a small plastic baggie. Cut a small hole in one corner of the baggie so you can pipe the pink frosting decoratively over the crescents once they are baked and cool.

When the rolls are cool to the touch you can ice them. I like to drizzle the icing on and angle and then sprinkle them with a little pink or red cookie sugar to give them a little sparkle.
