I recently ordered pizza from @pizzahut online and one of the suggestions was the 10 mini @Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. At first I thought no way. How could @Cinnabon cinnamon rolls made at @pizzahut be any good? The desire for dessert though was now in my head, and the rolls are only $5.99, so I clicked and added them to my order.

The local @pizzahut has gone through a transformation. Slimming down to strictly a drive thru/delivery footprint from the larger sit-down with buffet establishment. The new building is bright and vibrant and, as someone who mainly used the pickup option, suites me fine.

I pulled up to the window, exchanged information, and was soon on my way with my appetizer, pizza, and dessert. I could not resist opening the dessert package to take a sniff of the rolls.This was a huge mistake, because they smelled wonderful. The sweet, tangy aroma filled my car and I instantly wanted a cup of coffee and one of the rolls. Unfortunately, I live about fifteen minutes from this Pizza Hut so I resisted the urge to dig in, closed the lid, and drove home. What delightful torture the ride home was.

The ten mini rolls are nestled in their container and topped with the Cinnabon signature cream cheese frosting. The rolls are also topped with a plastic pizza saver to keep the lid from stealing any of that amazing frosting. A nice touch and much appreciated.

I thought about waiting to finish dinner before eating one of the rolls, but I’m an adult and even the Pizza Hut website states that these ten mini rolls are “the perfect way to end pizza night. Or you can eat ’em first. Don’t worry, we won’t tell.” Taking their advice I scooped one of the rolls out onto my plate and took a bite. 

What I was greeted with was pure deliciousness. From the cinnamon heavy tender pastry to the sweet delectable frosting, the roll was everything I could have hoped for. I savored that roll and then went back to the normal order for eating my meal. All the time I was enjoying dinner I was thinking about the dessert that was to come. I finished my meal with three more rolls and decided to save the rest for the following morning.

Unfortunately, there is no good way to reheat the rolls. Using a microwave results in a roll with hard spots and the icing becoming gritty. The results were similar when using an oven, Scraping the icing off before heating the rolls kept the icing pleasant, but still resulted in less than appetizing pastry.

My advice is to have some friends to share the rolls with so there are no leftovers.

I would recommend adding the 10 mini @Cinnabon cinnamon rolls to your next @pizzahut order.
