Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate one roll. Gently unravel the dough about halfway, then roll the loose end back in the opposite direction to create a smaller spiral attached to the larger one.
Place the shaped roll on a baking sheet so it forms a figure-8 shape, with the larger spiral as the snowman’s body and the smaller one as the head.
Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden.
Spread the icing over the warm rolls, then decorate with chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, pretzel sticks for arms, and a red candy for the nose.

Prep & Ingredient Tips

Unroll the dough gently so it doesn’t tear while forming the head.
Pinch the head and body together if needed to help them bake as one piece.
Add the decorations after icing so everything sticks easily.

Storage & Make Ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat briefly in the microwave to soften the rolls before serving.
Shape the snowmen up to a day ahead and refrigerate; bake and decorate just before serving.
