Peanut Butter Cinnamon Rolls (Pillsbury)

Ooey gooey peanut butter chocolate cinnamon rolls!
Easy peanut butter cinnamon rolls with sweetened peanut butter filling, chocolate shavings and peanut butter icing. The best part is they are made from Pillsbury instant cinnamon rolls which makes this recipe so easy!

All you need is peanut butter and a Pillsbury cinnamon roll tube.

The easiest cinnamon roll hack ever!

• Mix the powdered sugar and the peanut butter together, unroll the cinnamon roll dough and smear the peanut butter sugar filling on evenly.
• Shave some chocolate or add mini chips.
• Gently roll up the cinnamon rolls and bake as per instructed. Some of the peanut butter will soak into the cinnamon bun dough, it gives it an awesome texture. 
• While the rolls are baking, mix the icing that come with the tube with peanut butter. 
• When the rolls are done, take out and let cool before icing with the peanut butter icing. 
• Microwave the peanut butter icing right before you are going to apply. It will harden up slightly after you ice the cinnamon rolls.

Cooking/Grocery Tips
Purchase the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls while they are on sale! You can use the grande or the original rolls. I used Kraft natural peanut butter and it works perfectly. Use whatever peanut butter your family likes.
