I know this has been talked about, but I made these again today and changed it up. When I made them the other day, they were good...but not SMACK-YOUR-MAMA good like Rae would say!!:p :D

So, all of you that want a quick demo to SELL COOKWARE and our new sprinkles here you go:

Melt 3 T. BUTTER (not margarine, the butter tastes and browns better...) in your small saute pan or 10" saute pan.

Take one roll of cheap biscuits (You can buy them in a pack of 4 for less than $2) and cut them into quarters. Using your spatula, toss them in the butter so they are all coated. Spread them out so they are even in the pan.

Sprinkle on some brown sugar (Probaby about 2-3T. ?? not sure, I just eyeballed it...) **This is the part that made them soooo much better. They were just missing something before.
Sprinkle on LIBERALLY our cinnamon or caramel sprinkles. (Or do one side of one flavor and one side the other flavor.)

Bake @ 375 for 10-12 minutes.

Then, instead of inverting them onto a plate (in which case all of the sprinkles would now be on the bottom...) SLIDE them off onto a plate. This really showcases how non-stick our pans are!!

The crescent roll recipe is really good...I think it will be even better if you add some brown sugar in it as well. Another thing: if you are cheap..ahem..I mean, frugal :o :rolleyes: like me--adding the brownsugar adds flavor and you use a little less of the sprinkles.

OK, I am not bringing up cinnamon bites again.














































Till tomorrow! :p
 
Oh I think I am gonna have to go to the grocery store tomorrow.:p
 
I just made the crescent roll/cinnamon sprinkle bites in the mini baker. Mini baker was too small, but I used the entire bottle of sprinkles. They were sooo good. Four of us ate all of them within five minutes.

Those bottles really should have a warning label printed on them!

CAUTION: Use of these sprinkles can result in eating an entire PAN full of goodies all by yourself! Also, be sure to store in a cool dry place, away from children. Otherwise, you may find them (or you....) eating them straight from the bottle!:o :eek: :rolleyes:

I made them before with the caramel sprinkles. I measured out 1/4 cup, and it was almost the entire bottle. I figured I wouldn't waste my time on measuring because what am I supposed to do with such a little amount of sprinkles left over.
 
Sprinkle away!Personally, I like out Pizza Crust Roll Mix made into Cinnamon Buns better. I would like to taste the Sprinkles on ice cream (lets just say ANYTHING tastes good with ice cream IMO!!).

Some one at the product demo was going to sprinkle them in her coffee...which sounds good, but I don't drink coffee.

So keep on sprinkling and leave that poor horse alone!!

Me too!! That's the main one I want. Heck, if I get tons of points, I wouldn't mind the sets, but where the heck will I put everything? I've got all the other two lines too.:D

Me too! I am giving my professional to my kids - my executive set is mostly in my office closet and it needs to see the kitchen! AND I want to earn the SS.

Back to the recipes: I haven't made the cinnamon rolls with our mix yet - need to try that!









Thanks for the thread... now I have to go make the pullaparts (or maybe the mini rolls) for breakfast.
 
Just FYI the bottles of sprinkles they gave us are not full sized! The regular bottles are 6 ounces, the ones they gave us are only 2 or 2.5 or something.
 
I have done the crescent roll recipe with the sprinkles. This morning I tried it a different way-- I used 2 pkg of crescent dough and put on melted butter and brown sugar and then added the new sprinkles. I rolled the dough from the shorter side-- making bigger cinnamon rolls. When I cut them, I used dental floss. Slide floss under and pull the two end around to meet and cross and cut off a piece of the roll. The floss does not crush the cinnamon rolls when you cut.
Using the brown sugar tastes good and saves on the cost of the sprinkles.
 
The actual sizesAre The Cinnamon Sprinkles is a 6 ounce bottle, the caramel is a 5 ounce bottle. And did anyone try the coffee thing? I have to get regualr coffee to try it but I was thinking that putting the sprinkles in the basket with the grounds. That it might work better as I have this thing about gunk in the bottom of my coffee cup. Especially if the sprinkles do not completely disolve. Not that it would not taste good but, yew! It's a texture thing. If it is a beverage there had better not be chunks of anything in it. I can't dunk cookies for that reason. Silly, I know, but we all have our quirks!
And that's just one of many of mine!

Oh and by the way Kelly, sometimes beating a dead horse works wonders! Just think about how long stews have been around. If no one "changed them up" as you put it, there would only be one kind on the planet!

To test this... just get a cup of really hot water and put in some spinkles. Then you'd be able to actually see if they disolve...
 
Why not put the sprinkles in a tea ball and see if they deslove, that way you try it in coffee and don't have sweet hot water.

I do that when I am at home, but if I am cutting something like that at a show...I use my forged bread knife so I am selling another product. That dental floss thing is the BEST tip!
 
Okay now I am going to have to try that..... make me hungry while I am at work Thanks KELLY!!! :p

They mentioned the coffee thing at conference and it sounds good, but I am not a coffee drinker...




Other things to use them in or on:

Oatmeal
yogurt
ice cream
as a muffin topping
mix into cream cheese for bagel spread (or for 'nilla wafers!)

What other ideas can you all think of?

You could add it to Hot Chocolate, if you make homemade cinommon raisen bread that might add extra flavor.....

I vote for that!

Make sure when you make your french toast, add a little sugar to the egg wash (it will brown nicer) and some of our awesome vanilla!

Then, top it off like Debi said!

YUM!:D
