Hot Cocoa Cinnamon Roll with Marshmallows

Ever since I tried Tik-Tok Cinnamon Rolls for the first time, I’ve been determined to try making them in every different flavor imaginable! These Easy Hot Cocoa Cinnamon Rolls were the first variation I tried and they did not disappoint! It was especially helpful that Pillsbury makes a hot cocoa flavored cinnamon roll already. All I had to do was level them up a little and top them with mini-marshmallows and mini-chocolate chips!

Or, you can really live on the edge and make Mini Cinnamon Roll Waffles , Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler , or Apple Fritter Cinnamon Roll Bake !

What You’ll Need for the Cinnamon Rolls

2 (17.5 oz) cans Pillsbury Grands Hot Cocoa Cinnamon Rolls

1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

4 tbsp Butter, Melted

1/3 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

And the Icing

4 tbsp Butter

4 oz Cream Cheese

2 containers Icing From Cans

1 cup Powdered Sugar

Mini-Marshmallows

Mini-Chocolate Chips

How to Make Easy Hot Cocoa Cinnamon Rolls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.

Place separated cinnamon rolls from 2 (17.5 oz) cans of Pillsbury Grands Hot Cocoa Cinnamon Rolls in the pan. Set icing aside for later.

Pour 1 cup heavy whipping cream over the cinnamon rolls and in between each one.

In a small bowl, melt 4 tbsp butter. Once melted, stir in 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.

Pour the brown sugar butter mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.

Put the pan into the oven and lay a piece of tin foil over the pan, covering the entire pan.

Bake for 35 minutes.

In the meantime, make the icing by microwaving 4 tbsp butter and 4 oz cream cheese together for 20 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir to combine. Whisk in 2 containers of icing that came with the cinnamon rolls. When combined, add and mix in 1 cup powdered sugar.

Spread the icing evenly over the cinnamon rolls and serve warm.

Top with mini-marshmallows and mini-chocolate chips.
