FAQs about Melted Snowman Cinnamon Rolls

Absolutely! While homemade dough is recommended for its fresh, rich flavor, using store-bought dough is a great time-saving alternative. It works perfectly for those who want to focus more on decorating their snowman creations.

Definitely! You can prepare the rolls the night before and refrigerate them overnight. On the morning of your brunch, let them come to room temperature and then bake. This not only saves time but also ensures you have warm, fresh rolls ready for your guests.

Leftover cinnamon rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving to bring back that fresh-baked warmth and aroma.

  1. I did not see what temperature to bake these cinnamon rolls at. Also the top of the recipe says bake time 20 minutes and in the recipe it says to bake for 30 minutes. Clarifying these would be very helpful
