I am in complete protest of all this snow. I mean, Mother Nature, it is not even December!
But the cold weather makes for a great excuse for ooey gooey warm treats.
I had a tube of crescents in the fridge that I bought for no real purpose. The rest of the ingredients for cinnamon buns are staples in most pantries: brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter.
A cream cheese glaze tops off these little morsels to make the most decadent treat. I didn’t have any milk so I used coffee creamer in the glaze. I had Bailey’s Mudslide in the fridge which is truly sinful.
