Instructions

CINNAMON ROLLS

Pre-heat oven to 375°
Grease either a cookie sheet with sides, or a 9 X 13 pan
Unroll one can of dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Spread/stretch the dough out from all edges a bit so it is slightly bigger.
Repeat with the second can of dough.
In a small bowl mix together the filling ingredients.
Spread half the filling over the first dough, and the other half of the filling over the second dough.
Roll up the first dough from the long edge all the way up.
Cut into 12 pieces (rolls) and place them side by side in half of the sheet/pan.
Repeat with the second can of dough, filling the other half of the sheet/pan.
Bake 20 - 25 minutes

GLAZE

Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes.
While the rolls are cooling mix together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
Pour the glaze all over the top of the rolls.

ENJOY!

Favorite Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate is the perfect beverage to take the chill off on a cold day. It's chocolatey, sweet, but not too sweet, and it is definitely a delicious way to warm the belly. My mom started making this hot chocolate when my brother and I were kids and still makes it all these years later. YUM!
