Cinnamon Roll Pigs in a Blanket Dunkers


Ingredients:

  • 1 package (5) Grands Cinnamon Rolls with cream cheese frosting
  • 10 fully-cooked turkey/chicken sausage of choice

(For the Sauce)

  • Cream cheese frosting (from cinnamon rolls)
  • drizzle of pancake/maple syrup


Directions:
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Leave cream cheese frosting out at room temperature.
  • Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and open the cinnamon rolls, separating each roll and unrolling the dough.
  • Cut each cinnamon roll "rope" that you just created into two pieces, making 10 total ropes.
  • Wrap the cinnamon roll rope around each entire sausage (like pigs in a blanket!), picking up/smearing any of the excess cinnamon filling that falls off and pressing it into rolls.  It's essential!
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes. *I stopped at 15 to check.  They felt a little "too" doughy, so I only baked for one minute longer and let them rest on the baking sheet once I took them out for a few minutes more.  
  • Spoon some frosting onto each plate and drizzle with some syrup to thin the dunking consistency.  Stir and serve!  Enjoy!

Notes:

You can assemble the dunkers ahead of time on a baking sheet, wrap with saran wrap and refrigerate.
