Bloody Guts Cinnamon Rolls
A spooky Halloween twist on classic cinnamon rolls—twisted dough, baked and drizzled with red “blood” frosting for a creepy and fun treat.
Equipment
- Baking sheet (9×13-inch or similar)
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or spoon
Ingredients
For the Rolls
- 2 packages store-bought cinnamon rolls (8 count each)
Frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk adjust to desired consistency
- Red gel food coloring to achieve a “bloody” shade
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (205 °C).
- Open and unwrap the cinnamon rolls. Gently unroll each roll completely.
- Twist and coil the unraveled dough on a baking sheet to create a “gutsy” appearance.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until golden brown but still soft.
- While rolls bake, mix powdered sugar with milk. Add red food coloring until you get a rich red-blood color.
- Remove rolls from oven and allow to cool slightly (a few minutes).
- Drizzle the red frosting over the warm rolls generously to look like dripping blood.
- Serve warm and enjoy the spooky breakfast!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a warm oven. Freezing un-frosted rolls works too; thaw then bake and frost when ready.
