How To Make Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F, or 325°F if using a nonstick pan, so it is ready when the rolls are shaped.

Carefully unwind the outer end of each cinnamon roll and shape that loose strip into two bunny ears above the remaining round base.

Press gently between and around the ears to help them stick to the base and hold their shape while baking.

Place the shaped rolls onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about one to two inches of space between each one.

Bake until golden brown, watching closely, and gently pinch any edges back together if they begin to separate.

Drizzle with icing while warm, then decorate with Easter sprinkles and M&M’s to create the bunny face.
