Ingredients:
For the Bites:
- 5 thawed dinner rolls (such as Rhodes frozen dinner rolls)
For the Filling:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
For the Glaze:
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preparation Steps:
- Create the filling by whisking together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon powder in a bowl. Keep this cinnamon-butter mixture aside for later.
- Take each thawed dinner roll and slice it in half to make smaller portions.
- Arrange the halved rolls in a small baking dish that has been lightly greased.
- Drizzle or spread the cinnamon-butter mixture generously over the top of the rolls, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Let the rolls bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes. You're looking for a beautiful golden-brown color on top.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by mixing the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until it's smooth and spreadable. Adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
- After baking, take the dish out of the oven and allow the cinnamon roll bites to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes. This rest period helps them set and absorb the filling flavors.
- Finish by pouring or drizzling the cream cheese glaze over the warm bites.
To Serve:
- Serve the cinnamon roll bites warm, with extra glaze on the side for dipping if you're feeling indulgent.
