King’s Hawaiian Cinnamon Rolls

🔪 Instructions

  1. Prep the rolls
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Without separating the rolls, slice the entire pack horizontally (like cutting a big sandwich bun in half).
  2. Make the filling
    • In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until it forms a spreadable paste.
  3. Assemble
    • Spread the cinnamon-sugar butter evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
    • Place the top half of the rolls back on.
  4. Bake
    • Place in a greased baking dish or lined pan.
    • Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15–18 minutes, until warmed through and gooey.
  5. Glaze
    • Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
    • Drizzle generously over the warm rolls.
  6. Serve
    • Pull apart and enjoy warm, soft, and sticky!

Tips & Twists:

  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts inside for crunch.
  • Mix a little cream cheese into the glaze for tangy richness.
  • If you want extra sticky, pour a spoonful of caramel sauce or honey over before baking.

Ashley, would you like me to also give you a from-scratch dough version (like real bakery-style cinnamon rolls but with that King’s Hawaiian sweetness), or keep it simple with the packaged rolls hack?
