-robyn win
"This was so easy and quick to make. The one tweak would be to cook it a little while longer. The cinnamon buns were not cooked all the way. Otherwise it was a hit!”

This recipe combines rich chocolate brownies with a topping of gooey butter cake.
This is a simple, no-bake recipe that takes toaster pastries and spiffs them up with caramel sauce and toppings. A great project to do with kids.

-Sweets n Supper
“This is most definitely a sweet treat and something most of us can handle only so much of at a time, so I suggest that you really try cutting this batch into at least 24 pieces!”
-Sydney Mike
“Like eating rich, yummy, cookie dough with all the good things — and healthy to boot!”

-Riley M.
"I've been making these for years and prefer using a 9x13 cake pan. The caramel sauce is able to get to all of the rolls more evenly."
-ccolley3
"Made these today and they came out lovely. I made a brownie sundae.”
-Natasha R.
"After reading the other reviews, I made some adjustments to make this a bit more gooey. I used applesauce instead of butter for the cake layer, which made it more moist when baked, but also sticky to spread in the pan, so be prepared for that.”
-Rebekah of SFD
“I should have read the reviews because it was gooey and I did panic then put it in the freezer for a bit so I could cut them and oh they are delicious.”
-DPar6310
“This wonderful recipe can be served slightly warm or cold.”
