Why we love this recipe-

• It makes such an easy special treat for Valentine’s Day!
• It’s easy enough to make on a school morning, too!
• The fun heart shape on these gives us lots of possibilities for making fun festive cinnamon rolls. You could also make these for Mother’s Day, or a birthday. Or, use food coloring to turn the icing green, and top them with Christmas sprinkles to make Grinch cinnamon rolls! There are so many ways you could do these.
• We love the taste of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, and their delicious cream cheese frosting. Easy cinnamon rolls are the way to go in our house.

Heart Shaped Cinnamon Roll Ingredients

• 1 (8 ct.) can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (the regular, NOT the grands version)
• Valentine’s Day Sprinkles

Directions:

Step 1: Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add parchment paper to a cookie sheet or baking sheet and set aside.

Step 2: Take a cinnamon rolls from the can and unroll them onto a cutting board. Each cinnamon roll should be rolled out into a long strip of dough. Make sure to hang onto the icing, we’ll need that later.

Step 3: Take a cinnamon roll, and begin rolling the edges in towards the center. Once both edges are rolled to the center, pink the bottom of the cinnamon roll to make a point. The pinch point makes the bottom of the heart. Make sure to pinch it together well so it holds during baking. Repeat this for all of the rolls.

Step 4: Place the cinnamon rolls onto the parchment paper covered pan.

Step 5: Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. This is less than the package time but its okay because they are rolled a bit different.

Step 6: Once they’ve finished baking, move to a cooling rack, and let cool slightly before frosting.

Step 7: Add the frosting to your cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with Valentine sprinkles!
