Description
Make these fun, visually striking cinnamon rolls for a Halloween treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (13.25 ounces) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1/4 cup black food coloring gel
- 1/4 cup white food coloring gel
- 1/4 cup red food coloring gel
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the dough package directions.
- Separate the cinnamon rolls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix a small amount of black food coloring gel into a small bowl with one roll. Mix until the dough is uniformly black. Repeat this process for the white and red colors with separate rolls.
- Arrange the colored rolls on the baking sheet to create a pattern or design, keeping them close together.
- Bake the rolls according to the package instructions until golden brown.
- While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for the most intense colors without thinning the dough too much.
- You can use toothpicks to gently swirl colors together before baking for a marbled effect.
