Ingredients Needed for Cute Snowman Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients needed for snowman cinnamon rolls

☃️ Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls and Icing – I used Pillsbury, but any brand will work! These make things super easy and taste amazing once baked. You’ll use both the rolls and the icing that comes in the package.

☃️ Pretzel Sticks – These are perfect for creating the snowman’s little “arms.” They add such a fun, crunchy touch!

☃️ Mini Chocolate Chips – Use these for the eyes and mouth. They give your snowmen that adorable frosty face.

☃️ Mini M&Ms – These make the cutest buttons down the snowman’s body. Pick your favorite colors to match your Christmas theme!

☃️ Orange Cookie Icing – This will be your snowman’s “carrot nose.” Just a little squeeze adds so much personality!

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls into Snowmen

Step 1: Prep your cinnamon rolls. You will use 4 full cinnamon rolls as the body and then 4 will be cut smaller for the heads. So for the head carefully cut about ¼ inch off the outer edge – see the picture below! Discard the other piece or cook them up along side to not let it go to waste.

Step 2: Build your snowmen. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolls down so that the small one (the head) is just touching the bigger one (the body). Make a few of these little snowmen across the sheet, spacing them out so they have room to bake.

Step 3: Bake and cool. Pop them in the oven for 10–13 minutes, or until they’re golden and baked through. Once done, let them cool — this makes decorating so much easier (and less messy!).

Step 4: Frost and decorate. Spread the icing that came with your cinnamon rolls to make them snow-white. Stick a pretzel stick into each side for arms, then add mini chocolate chips for eyes and a smile. Use your orange cookie icing for the nose, and finish with a few mini M&Ms down the body for buttons.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy! Your snowman cinnamon rolls are ready! Serve them on Christmas morning with cocoa or coffee for a cozy holiday treat.
