One of our family’s favorite sweet treats happens to by cinnamon rolls or buns as some would call them. On the weekend we love to head to a local bakery and pick up a half dozen of their cinnamon rolls which are now available in pumpkin. That got me thinking, why don’t I try to make some cinnamon rolls from scratch?

What a disaster that initially was! You see yeast, and me just do not work! I have zero patience to let yeast activate or bread rise. My buns were like doughy rocks that could have possibly broken a window should my son have thrown a bun at one.

However, rather than wallow, I did what most people do and searched the internet for  an easier way to make cinnamon rolls. After some Pinteresting research, the consensus was that with proper technique, crescent roll dough could be morphed into fluffy and delicious cinnamon buns. So I gathered up my supplies and decided that my family would really enjoy a weekend breakfast of edible Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls and TruMoo Orange Scream Milk which is a family tradition in our home.

From now through October 31, 2016, Poppy and Branch, the colorful and spunky characters from DreamWorks Animation’s new comedy adventure, Trolls, will be making an appearance on specially marked bottles of limited-edition TruMoo Orange Scream milk and TruMoo Chocolate milk.
