Prep: 2 hours
Cook: 20 minutes
Yields: not applicable

Get ready for a spook-tacular breakfast treat that’s sure to make your taste buds scream with delight. Introducing the infamous Zombie Guts Cinnamon Rolls, a mouthwatering masterpiece that’s perfect for Halloween morning.

Imagine a sweet and sticky cinnamon roll, but not just any cinnamon roll – one that’s been transformed into a creepy, crawly, and utterly delicious “intestine” that’s sure to make your family and friends go wild.

So, how do you create these terrifyingly tasty treats? It all starts with a special ingredient – red velvet cake mix. That’s right, folks, this isn’t your average cinnamon roll dough. The addition of red velvet cake mix gives these rolls a vibrant color and a moist, velvety texture that’s simply irresistible.

First, combine yeast, sugar, and water in a stand mixer and stir until just combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until it becomes foamy – it’s like watching a spooky potion come to life.

Next, add the cake mix, salt, and flour, and mix until a soft dough forms. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it stand at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it’s doubled in size.

Now it’s time to get your hands dirty. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease an 11×7-inch baking dish. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to form a 20×14-inch rectangle.

Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter – it’s like adding a pinch of magic to your rolls.

Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a log and place it seam side down on a cutting board. Make cuts every 1 1/2 to 2 inches to form “rolls.” Unroll each roll and carefully roll each one from the long edges around the filling again to form long tube-like shapes.

Freeform the tube shapes in the prepared dish to resemble “intestines.” It’s time to get creative and have fun with it – the more twisted and turned, the better.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned around the edges, and the center dough is fully baked and no longer sticky, about 20 minutes.

While the rolls are baking, whisk powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Drizzle the sweet glaze over the rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.

Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. These Zombie Guts Cinnamon Rolls are sure to be a hit at your Halloween breakfast or brunch. So go ahead, indulge in the spooky sweetness, and make this Halloween one to remember.
