How to Make Halloween Cinnamon Rolls
First, bake homemade or canned cinnamon rolls and then decorate as you wish. We chose pumpkins, Jack-O’-Lanterns, Spiders, Spiderwebs, Ghosts and Mummies, but get creative with your own Halloween character ideas!
For Pumpkins: First, frost with orange frosting and add a green gumdrop stem. I used this frosting from Target. To make Jack-O’-Lanterns: First frost with orange frosting, add a green gumdrop stem, and then place chocolate chips for the eyes, nose and mouth.
For Spiders: Frost with chocolate frosting. Then add candy eyes, and push pretzel sticks into each side of the cinnamon roll for legs. To make Spiderwebs: First frost with white cupcake frosting in a web pattern, then make a chocolate chip spider with broken pretzel sticks for legs.
For Ghosts: Apply the glaze that comes with the cinnamon rolls in a thick coat. Then add chocolate chip eyes and a mini Oreo mouth. To make Mummies: Apply white frosting in strips across the cinnamon roll and then add candy eyes.

I’m sitting here with my daughter, going through my emails and this recipe is in my inbox. My three year old girl turned to me and said, “I want to make these. These look soooooo nummy!” Suffice it to say, I know what we’re eating next Sunday morning! Love the look of these, and I’m 100% sure she’s right–they’re probably going to really be nummy.
