Halloween Cinnamon Roll Ingredients & Substitutions
- Cinnamon Rolls: I used store bought Pillsbury grand cinnamon rolls. You can make your own or use any brand of cinnamon rolls.
- Frosting: I used black and orange frosting divided evenly. You can also add food coloring to icing.
- Pretzels: Mini pretzel sticks are used to create the spider legs. I did four on each side.
- Candy Eyes: These can be easily find online or in stores in the baking aisle. Any size candy eyes can be used.
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Spiders
Preheat the oven and bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package instructions.
Once baked, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Insert 4 pretzel sticks to each side to resemble legs.
Spread the frosting (divide the black and orange frosting evenly) over the top of each roll.
Gently press candy eyes into the frosting and enjoy!
