very easy to make, especially with regular ingredients you have at home - 23 Jun 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Too sweet, difficult to work with, never make again!!! - 21 May 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I am diabetic so I revised this recipe using Splenda sugar mix and Splenda brown sugar mix. The dough was indeed sticky but I found that using a LOT of flour on my rolling surface helped immensely with that. They tasted really good, they were more like biscuits than a traditional cinnamon roll and the dough only managed to yield about 6 rolls. Will make again but will double it for bigger appetites. - 06 May 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
