Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until partially cooked but still pliable, about 3-4 minutes. The bacon should not be fully crispy at this stage as it will continue to cook in the oven. (Cook time: 4 minutes)

03

Step

Remove bacon from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Allow to cool slightly. (Cool time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Unroll each cinnamon roll and gently stretch or slice lengthwise into two strips. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Lay a strip of bacon along a cinnamon roll strip. Twist the two together, creating a beautiful, spiraled treat. Place the twist on the prepared wire rack. Repeat with remaining bacon and cinnamon roll strips. (Assembly time: 10 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the bacon is crisp, about 10-12 minutes. (Bake time: 12 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. (Cool time: 3 minutes)

08

Step

Drizzle with the icing included in the cinnamon roll can, or serve the icing on the side as a delightful dipping sauce.

For a richer flavor, consider using applewood smoked bacon.
If you prefer a less sweet twist, reduce the amount of icing drizzled on top.
These twists are best served warm and fresh from the oven. However, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
Try adding a sprinkle of brown sugar or chopped pecans before baking for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
