🔪 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.

💭 Recipe 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)
- food coloring (red & blue) ($0.04)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cinnamon rolls. Mine said 400 degrees F.
- Grease a 9x13 baking dish and open your cinnamon rolls. Separate the icing from the rolls.
- Unravel the cinnamon rolls and loosely place them in the baking dish in wavy lines and sections. Fill in gaps as you run low on cinnamon rolls and it's okay if they aren't crammed in there as they'll expand when baking.
- Bake for the specified time on the wrapper of the can of the cinnamon rolls. Mine was about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool a little as you prep the frosting.
- Place the frosting into a small bowl and add in a little red food coloring. It will turn a shade of pink.
- Add in the smallest amount of blue that you can (a little goes a LONG way). It should turn a shade of purple.
- Add in more red food coloring, a little at a time until you get the color desired.
- Spread the frosting over the tops of the cinnamon roll "guts." I spooned mine on top and as it warmed up I used a pastry brush to help get in the nooks and crannies.
- Once your intestine rolls have been covered in frosting, they're ready to eat. Slice and serve as desired.
