Three words. Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls. How I ever got to the ripe old age of 58 without ever having purchased a package of Rhodes Frozen Rolls is beyond me. I blame my mother, my friends, my family, my therapist and an obviously lousy advertising agency for this blatant oversight.
The other day I was perusing Pinterest and came upon a three-ingredient recipe for cinnamon rolls. I took the bait and clicked, only to discover one of the three ingredients is Rhodes Frozen Cinnamon Rolls. .
It just so happened the next day it was 79 degrees, so I thought I'd give the recipe a try. I'm not sure I'll ever make cinnamon rolls from scratch again. Why bother?
I didn't particularly follow the recipe, because I started making them in the early afternoon, and I forgot to put the pudding mix and butter on the top before the rolls had thawed out. I let them rise, then sprinkled the pudding mix and butter on the top being careful not to squish their perfect puffiness...
Then baked them to a beautiful golden brown...
As one might expect the pudding and butter mixture created a crunchy sweet topping on the rolls, because, heaven knows, they weren't quite sweet enough. {I went a little easy on the pudding and butter, and they were still wonderful.} When my husband came home I told him about my cinnamon roll discovery and told him it would change my life forever. One of his favorite things is a good cinnamon roll, so he concurred it would change his life forever too!
