How to Make This Fun Grinch Breakfast Idea

As you can probably tell, this one’s a pretty easy breakfast recipe, friends. Below, you’ll find the full recipe, but first a few tips…

  1. Don’t let the cinnamon rolls touch and be sure to give them a bit of room. You could also unroll them and shape them like hearts, but I’m too lazy for that. Good idea, though, right?
  2. If you really want to be the adult of the year in their eyes, give the kids the sprinkles. Stand back and watch it rain candy hearts.

How to Make Grinch Cinnamon Rolls

First, preheat the oven and lay out the cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet.

Cook per the package instructions.

Add a few drops of green food coloring to the icing (can warm up in a glass of water if solid). Frost the cinnamon rolls with the green icing and add a heart sprinkle.

Serve these easy Grinch cinnamon rolls warm.
