Ingredients

2 - 17.5 oz containers of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls
Non-stick baking spray
1 Tbsp Valentine's sprinkles

Instructions

Open the two cans of dough and set aside the icing. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Unroll each cinnamon roll almost to the center. Then roll about 2" of the other end into a small spiral. Press the two rolled ends together and pull the remaining dough into a "v", creating a heart shape.
Spray a 10" round casserole dish with non-stick spray. Place the cinnamon roll dough into the dish.
Note: A baking pan or cookie sheet can be used to cook these as well.
Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
Spread icing over the warm cinnamon buns.
Top with Valentine's sprinkles and serve warm.

Notes

Let the rolls sit at room temperature for a few minutes before shaping so the dough bends more easily.
Add a drizzle of butter to the pan before baking for an extra-gooey finish.
Cover leftovers in plastic wrap before storing to keep the icing soft and shiny.
For an extra-festive twist, tuck a spoonful of brown sugar inside each swirl.
Bake the cinnamon roll hearts in a skillet for crisp edges and a soft center.
