1. Can I use homemade cinnamon rolls for this recipe?

Yes, you can certainly use homemade cinnamon rolls if you prefer. However, the store-bought, unraveled variety makes this recipe quick and simple, perfect for a Halloween morning treat. If you do use homemade cinnamon rolls, just make sure to shape them into coils and adjust the baking time as needed.

2. What’s the best way to store leftover Bloody Guts Cinnamon Rolls?

To store leftovers, allow the cinnamon rolls to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature. If you want to keep them for longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to a month.

3. Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the cinnamon rolls the night before. Simply assemble them as directed, cover them, and store them in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, bake them and drizzle with the frosting for an easy, time-saving Halloween breakfast.

4. How can I make the frosting thicker or thinner?

To adjust the thickness of your frosting, simply add more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin it out. For a thicker consistency, you can also add a little extra powdered sugar while mixing in the red food coloring.

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Red gel food coloring

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Open the cinnamon roll packages and carefully unravel each roll.
Coil the unraveled cinnamon rolls in a snake-like pattern on a 9×13-inch baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Do not follow the package instructions for baking time, as these rolls cook faster due to being unraveled.
While the rolls bake, prepare the blood-red frosting by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and red gel food coloring to achieve a blood-like consistency.
Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, drizzle the red frosting over them generously.
Decorate with plastic eyeballs or spiders for an extra spooky touch, if desired.

Notes

If you don’t have gel food coloring, you can use liquid food coloring but reduce the amount of milk to 1 tablespoon.
Be careful not to overbake the cinnamon rolls; keep an eye on them since they cook quicker due to their unraveled form.
If you prefer, you can prepare these the night before and bake them in the morning for a quick Halloween breakfast.
For a different effect, try using green frosting to make Zombie Brains or Zombie Guts instead of the blood-red version.
