Easy Cinnamon Melts (McDonalds Copycat Recipe)
Here are two things that I don't do often: go to McDonalds and buy refrigerator biscuits. And yet, here it is. A recipe that combines both of these experiences.
But when I went to McDonalds and tried their cinnamon melts for the first time, I thought: there must some way to make this at home! Because I don't live close enough to a McDonalds to justify taking a trip there just to get another taste of these delicious cinnamon melts!
Along with the McDonalds cinnamon melts, I am also a huge fan of recipes that take 30 minutes or less to make. Especially when the recipe can be made in the morning in the time I take to get ready for work. That way when I am ready to walk out the door, I can enjoy a warm breakfast of something resembling cinnamon rolls, but WAY easier to make!
I mean, one of the reasons I don't make cinnamon rolls is because they take so freaking long. Well my friends, that is a problem of the past!
I might just start buying those pillsbury biscuits more often, so I can make this over and over. For lazy weekend mornings, or for when you have unexpected guests, this recipe is sure to please.
Now I'm off to make another batch! Who said there is no time to bake on the weekdays? They obviously never tried this recipe!

Do you think you can make a McDonald's brownie melts copycat recipe
I would actually love to!! I totally forgot about those, but I am going to start recipe testing this week!
Is there any recommendations for replacing the biscuits?
There isn't any can biscuits where I'm from.
If you have frozen biscuits, you can use those by defrosting them.
If you can't find that, making your own biscuits would work! This is a good substitute recipe.
My 18 yo said it brought back “childhood memories!” lol - ty for this recipe! #momwin

Yes that would work!
