Good idea Pat. I think I'm going to try this using cinnamon rolls!

I made this for Christmas dinner and the concept of the tree caught everyone's eye; however, using cinnamon rolls would have made more sense and a larger size roll per person.Pat

this recipe was a great find! fast and easy, I don't have the time! for kick I used 1T splenda, 1/2 t. cinnamon and 2T splenda brown sugar and 1/2 c chopped pecans for sprinkle over the butter before rolling up to cut. Then added baking mini M&Ms for christmas tree bulb decoration. I needed 2 one was not enough!

i have not made this however, i prefer recipes that are from scratch not boxes or pre made processed things.. dont want to offend, but not everyone is in a huge hurry to get it done... i have the time and just think "home made" is best!

I made these and they were good, but I must have rolled them up too thin or something because they were tiny. They didn't seem to rise any. Also agree about the cooking time.

It turned out so good! My guest really liked it and it tasted delicious. I will surely try it out again! Thanks for the recipe.

It came out very cute! But a warning: the cooking time listed in the directions is much too long. It needs more like 12 minutes. I used marachino cherries and dyed my glaze green. You also do not even use half of the glaze. Overall, very fun and easy!

Instead of candied cherries, make extra drizzle. First drizzle "tree" with white and then using red and green food coloring, dollop little ornaments of red onto each roll and one green dollop for the base.

I can't wait to try this for my Christmas Brunch for my church sisters next year. So easy and festive. Thanks

M&M's are a lot smaller than a cherry - I'd think they might get lost in the middle of each roll; also, I'm wondering if the colors might "run". And I think the cherries make it like a coffee cake/roll one could serve for breakfast or brunch.

What about M & M's?

Chocolate kisses come to mind. How about gummies. Pretty much anything colorful will work.

This is such a clever idea! My family does not like candied fruit, so I'd have to substitute something else to go on the icing. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
