How to make Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Start with a can of cinnamon rolls. Unwrap them and set the icing aside.
  2. Cut the cinnamon roll to unwrap.
  3. Start to wrap the both ends of the roll up on itself.
  4. The ends will meet in the middle.
  5. Pinch the bottom to make it the bottom of the heart.
  6. Place on a cookie sheet and bake as directed.

Variation: Use Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Yes! If you want to make heart shaped rolls from scratch, feel free! You would unroll them and re-roll them the same way. Here are some of my favorite cinnamon roll recipes:

You can add popsicle or lollipop sticks to these too! Dip the sticks in melted white chocolate then push into the bottom of the heart. The chocolate will harden and the cinnamon roll will stay on the sticks.
