  8 ct Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
• Open a cinnamon roll and unroll it so it lays flat with the cinnamon facing upwards.
• Lightly press down the cinnamon and begin rolling the dough into a snake shape. Continue rolling until you can fold it in half and the length is the same as when you began. You want to make sure you can make two snakes out of each cinnamon roll.
• Once you have your length fold in half and cut so you now have two snakes.
• Lay the snakes next to each other, take the top of each snake and pinch together and press to the cutting board or flat surface.
• Braid or twist the two pieces together to make a rope. Meet the two ends together to make a circle shape.
• Bake for 23-24 mins or until lightly golden brown.
