Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk, warmed
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted (plus extra for filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Filling Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces

Frosting Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (to desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast with a pinch of sugar to activate it. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix in eggs, melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Make the Filling: While the dough rises, combine softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl until forming a sticky filling. Chop the Snickers bars into small pieces for even distribution.
  3. Roll Out and Fill the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly across the dough, then sprinkle chopped Snickers pieces evenly on top.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal rolls. Place them into a greased baking pan, leaving space for expansion.
  5. Let Rolls Rise Again: Cover loosely with a towel and allow to rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy, ensuring a tender, airy texture.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the caramel filling bubbles.
  7. Frost and Serve: While still warm, spread cream cheese frosting generously over the rolls, allowing it to melt slightly into the crevices for a luscious finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast for the best rise and soft texture.
  • Don’t skip the second rise to achieve fluffy cinnamon rolls.
  • Chop Snickers finely to distribute chocolate, caramel, and peanuts evenly.
  • Warm frosting slightly to make spreading easier and melting more effective.
  • Bake on the middle rack for even heat distribution and perfect browning.
