Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
  • Pastel M&M's

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F if you're using a nonstick cookie sheet). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently unroll each cinnamon roll, keeping about 1–2 inches of the center coiled to form the bunny face.
    Hands are shaping cinnamon rolls into bunny shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The rolls have spiral centers and are being manipulated to form ear shapes.
  • Take the loose end of the dough and loop it around to create ears, pressing the end gently into the top of the face to secure it.

  • Use your fingers to separate the loop in the middle, forming two distinct bunny ears. For a more realistic look, pinch the tops of each ear into a slight oval shape.

  • Place each shaped bunny on the baking sheet, spacing them about 1–2 inches apart. Bake for 13–16 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are puffed and golden brown.

  • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, drizzle with the included icing.
    Freshly baked cinnamon rolls drizzled with white icing are arranged on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The rolls appear golden-brown and slightly crispy, with the icing adding a sweet contrast to their warm, spiced appearance.
  • Finish by adding a pink or red M&M for the nose and white M&M’s for the eyes.
