Cinnamon Rolls are still an obsession for me! There’s just something about that warm sweet dough with cinnamon running through it that’s so good! And now I’ve added salted caramel to it!
I started with a fluffy sweet dough. Add a cinnamon sugar layer, then pour on the salted caramel! That gooey layer is an added bonus.
I even add more caramel to the top after spreading on the cream cheese frosting.
This is definitely a must try!
