Use store-brand cinnamon rolls. Many generic brands cost less and actually unravel better than name brands.

Make it a themed treat. This recipe doubles as both dessert and decoration, reducing the need for extra party items.
🥄 Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Intestines
Step 1: Preheat your oven to the temperature requested by your canned cinnamon rolls.
Step 2: Grease a 9x13 baking dish and open/unravel the cinnamon rolls. Lay them in the pan in back and forth zig-zag motions making them look like lines and blocks.
Step 3: Leaving gaps between the rolls is okay.
Step 4: Bake for the specified time directed on canned cinnamon rolls.
Step 5: Remove from oven and allow to cool while you prep the icing.
Step 6: In a bowl mix the icing with red food coloring.
Step 7: Add in a small amount of blue ( a little goes a long way) and then add in more red until the desired color has been reached.
Step 8: Spread the icing over the rolls and fill in the nooks and crannies. I found that a pastry brush is very helpful with this.
Step 9: Slice your zombie guts cinnamon rolls and serve.

❓ Cinnamon Roll Intestines FAQs
They will! Just bake them at the specified time and temperature on the package and follow along with the steps to make them look spooky!
The blue will add a better hue to the icing to make it slightly more realistic. I always think of intestines as being more purple in color thanks to the blues and reds in our body, if desired you just keep it red, but without the blue, the red will be very vibrant- like Santa's red suit.
Shaping the dough into a winding, irregular pattern resembling intestines is part of the fun. There's no right or wrong way, and you can get creative with the design.

📖 Recipe
Cinnamon Roll Intestines
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cans cinnamon rolls with frosting - ($4.48)
- Red and blue food coloring - ($0.04)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to the temperature listed on the cinnamon roll package. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate the frosting from the rolls.
- Shape the Rolls: Unravel each cinnamon roll and loosely place them into the baking dish in wavy lines and sections. Fill gaps as needed. Do not pack them tightly, as they will expand while baking.
- Bake: Bake according to the instructions on the cinnamon roll packaging. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly while preparing the frosting.
- Color the Frosting: Transfer the frosting to a small bowl. Add a small amount of red food coloring and mix until pink. Add a tiny amount of blue food coloring, then add more red a little at a time until the desired shade of purple is reached.
- Frost: Spoon the colored frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls. Use a pastry brush or spoon to work the frosting into the curves and crevices.
- Serve: Slice and serve while warm.
Notes
- Roll Selection: Not all canned cinnamon rolls unroll easily. Avoid brands that do not separate cleanly. Store brands and higher end options like Annie's tend to work best.
- Bake Time: Always follow the temperature and bake time listed on the cinnamon roll packaging, as this varies by brand.
- Color Control: Add blue food coloring sparingly. A very small amount goes a long way.
- Serving Tip: These are best served warm while the frosting is soft and spreadable.
