Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls

In my dreams, I'm one of those awesome Pinterest-perfect moms with crafts and holiday goodies and the whole 9 yards, but in reality, I'm just "exhausted under-achieving mom" most of the time. But don't worry. I've come to terms with it for the most part.

I do still like to put in some effort to the Pinterest-y thing though, which is what makes these Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls so perfect.  They're adorable and fun AND really really easy.  Your kids will love them, and this festive breakfast won't eat up all your precious free time!

Pre-packaged cinnamon rolls and sprinkles are what makes these Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls festive and fun, and those same things are what makes them so simple (and sanity-saving!).

Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls Directions

What you need:

  • 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • Fun St Patrick's Day sprinkles

1.  Remove cinnamon rolls from package.  Separate so that you have 6-8 separate rolls.

3.  Shape the cinnamon roll strip by forming three loops, leaving a little bit for the stem.  Be sure to put the cinnamon coated part on the inside of the loops.  You may need to make adjustments for the first cinnamon roll or two, until you get the hang of it.
