Cinnamon Roll Snowmen

A Jolly, Happy Holiday Breakfast

Not only are these Cinnamon Roll Snowmen so festive and delicious, it’s such a fun activity to do with the kids! We loved creating our frosty friends together. A bed of mini marshmallows makes the perfect winter wonderland setting, don’t you think? And canned cinnamon rolls take all the stress out of baking up the snowmen themselves. It could not be easier and more fun. And the yum is in the details! From chocolate chip eyes to blueberry buttons and bacon arms, these cinnamon roll treats only get more delicious.

What Do I Need to Make Cinnamon Roll Snowmen?

• Jumbo or grand cinnamon rolls
• Chocolate chips, for the eyes and mouth
• Blueberries, for buttons
• Mandarin oranges, peeled and separated, for the nose
• Baked bacon, for the arms
• Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel, for the scarves
• Mini marshmallows, for the decorative snow on the pan

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Snowmen

• First, preheat oven to 350°F. Then spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Separate cinnamon rolls into individual rolls.
• Snowman: Place 1 roll toward the top of the pan. Then place a second roll in the middle of the pan. Unroll third roll into a strip, then loosely coil it around the roll in the middle of the pan. Move the rolls closer together so they’re almost touching each other. Place a fourth roll toward the bottom of the pan. Unroll 2 more rolls into strips and loosely coil each strip around the bottom roll. Press the bottom rolls up near the middle rolls. Unroll about 1/3 of a seventh roll so you have a short strip of dough. Place the dough straight across the top roll on the sheet pan to form the bottom of the snowman’s hat. Unroll about another 1/3 of the roll and create the shape of the top of the hat by zig zagging the dough. Press it up against the flat piece to create the full hat.
• Snowbaby: start unrolling a cinnamon roll and re-rolling it tighter about 5 times for the base “snowball” then cut it, continue rolling it about 4 times for the middle “snowball” and use the final piece of the cinnamon roll for the head of the snowman, rolling it a little bit tighter if needed to stay together. Press the three “snowballs” tightly together to build a snowbaby.
• Snowkid: Place one roll near the bottom of the pan. Unroll a second roll and reroll about ⅔ of the roll before cutting off the last part of the cinnamon roll. Re-roll the part cut off of the last cinnamon roll to create the top ball of the snowkid. Unroll just part of a third roll so you have a short strip of dough. Place the dough straight across the top roll on the sheet pan to form the bottom of the snowkid’s hat. Fold the remaining portion and press it up against the flat piece to create the full hat.

How to Decorate Cinnamon Roll Snowmen

• Snowman: Place two chocolate chips to create the eyes and arrange 7 chocolate chips for the mouth, a piece of mandarin orange for the nose, 3 blueberries for the buttons, 4 strands of Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel, two for around the neck and two to loop through to create the scarf, and 2 pieces of bacon for the arms.
• Snowkid: Use 2 chocolate chips for the eyes, a piece of mandarin orange for the nose, one strand of Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel to create the scarf, and three blueberries for the buttons.
• Snowbaby: Place two chocolate chips for the eyes, three blueberries for the buttons, and one strands of Twizzlers Pull-n-Pell to create the scarf.
• Serve with additional toppings, fruit and baked bacon. Enjoy!
