Cinnamon rolls go way back in my family. My grandma used to make them from scratch for my dad. Whenever my siblings and cousins and I were little, cinnamon rolls were always on the menu, usually at dinner... never breakfast! I still crave her cinnamon rolls to this day, and when I get to visit her, they taste even better than when I was a kid.
I thought I'd give her classic rolls a twist for Valentine's Day.

Grab a package of Ready-To-Bake cinnamon rolls. I bought mine from Trader Joe's, I really love their stuff. Open the package and place each cinnamon roll on an ungreased or greased baking sheet. (Just follow the directions of the wrapping, it should specify.) Take each roll and, individually, unroll it half way. This is the first step to making the heart shape. Roll up the other half into the center of the roll, as shown below.
Once every roll is shaped into a heart, pop 'em in the oven and bake. (Again, follow your package's instructions for details.)
I had some family friends over for breakfast and they loved them! It was so fun putting the icing on and serving them with some fresh fruit. I was so happy at how they turned out! I hope this makes your Valentine's Day a bit sweeter and more delicious.
