Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Roll Bites

One of my favorite family moments on the weekend is preparing a fun breakfast or brunch. I love surprising my kids with something different and it is one meal where I know everyone will love what I make. It doesn’t seem to matter what breakfast related food it is, my kids like it! This is a big deal for me because my kids are notoriously picky. It isn’t much fun to cook for kids who won’t eat what you prepare.
I had a can of cinnamon rolls from Pillsbury and thought it would be fun to do something a little different with them. Making these cinnamon roll bites make the can stretch further and was the perfect size for my younger kids. I even felt like I was getting more!
Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Roll Bites
Ingredients
- 1 can 12.4 oz Pillsbury® refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1/8 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease or line large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet for easy clean up. Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces with a knife. Place each on cookie sheet.
-
Bake at 375°F for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Microwave icing cup (lid removed) for 10 seconds.
-
Place half of the pieces in wide serving bowl and drizzle with half the icing. Repeat with remaining pieces and icing. Sprinkle chocolate chips over rolls. Serve warm..
Rather than greasing my pans, I used a silicone baking sheet. This worked so well to avoid any sticking and made clean up a breeze.
After about 10 minutes of baking time, you’ll have some adorable little cinnamon roll bites with almost no work at all. I used a nice, wide serving bowl as opposed to a deep one.
To make sure your icing is evening distributed, you can do half at a time but this serving dish made it really easy to simply move a few pieces around instead.
For a little something special, I added some miniature chocolate chips. They stuck on the icing and melted only slightly.
This were so easy but so fun. My kids loved the bite-sized pieces and it was easy to serve them less without them even realizing it!
Now I want to try bite sized caramel rolls!
looks so yummy i am going to try them tomarrow
They look easy, yet fancy!
These look really good and easy to make. I love that they are in bite sized pieces for little toddler hands.

These look amazing and simple to make – my son has food allergies, but he can eat Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, so it will be nice to have a breakfast treat he can share with the family!
This is amazing and will be a huge hit in this family combining 2 things we love–cinnamon rolls and chocolate!!!
I’m sure chocolate chip lovers will adore these.
Those look great! I love the idea of cutting the cinnamon rolls up – with 4 kids, that would make them go a little farther at the breakfast table.

Food always looks and tastes better when it’s miniature! I agree – I really love having a nice relaxed brunch on holidays or weekends. Weekdays are always so rushed there’s never time for this kind of thing.
