Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Separate Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and place four whole cinnamon rolls on the prepared baking sheet spaced evenly apart.
Prepare Antlers: Using a sharp knife, cut each of the remaining cinnamon rolls in half. Then make two or three slits on the rounded edge of each half to create the appearance of antler points.
Attach Antlers: Position the cut halves at the top of each whole cinnamon roll, arching them to resemble reindeer antlers. Press the edges gently to ensure they stick together during baking.
Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and cooked through.
Decorate the Reindeer: While the rolls are still warm, spread the included icing over their tops. Place a red peanut M&M in the center of each cinnamon roll face to serve as the nose, then add two chocolate chips above the nose to create eyes.

Notes

If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to the rolls before baking.
For a nut-free version, substitute the red peanut M&Ms with red candy-coated chocolates without nuts.
Ensure the antler halves are well attached by pinching the dough edges firmly to avoid separation during baking.
If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Customize the decorations by using other candies or edible markers for more creative faces.
