Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls
- 2 (8 count) packages store-bought cinnamon rolls
Bloody Frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk (more as needed)
- Red gel food coloring (see note about food coloring)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Unroll Cinnamon Rolls: Open the packages of cinnamon rolls and carefully unravel each roll, separating the dough to create longer strands that can be shaped.
- Shape the ‘Guts’: On a quarter-size baking sheet (9 x 13 inches), twist, turn, and coil the unraveled cinnamon roll dough creatively so that they resemble intestines or guts.
- Bake the Rolls: Bake the shaped cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Note: Do not follow the package instructions for time, as that will be too long and may overcook the rolls.
- Prepare the Red Frosting: While the rolls bake, combine powdered sugar, milk, and red gel food coloring in a bowl. Adjust the quantity of food coloring until you achieve a vivid blood-red color.
- Drizzle Frosting on Rolls: Once baked, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle the red frosting over them to mimic the appearance of bloody guts.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the frosting set slightly, then serve immediately to enjoy your spooky Halloween breakfast treat!
Notes
- This recipe uses store-bought cinnamon rolls for convenience, making it quick and easy for a festive breakfast.
- The red gel food coloring provides a deep, bright color that isn’t achieved with liquid food coloring; adjust the amount to reach your desired bloodiness.
- Watch these cinnamon roll guts come to life on Pin TV for a visual guide and extra Halloween fun.
- Do not overbake the cinnamon rolls; keeping the baking time short ensures soft, gooey rolls that look best when drizzled with frosting.
