Ingredients

1 package Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
½ cup butter softened
⅔ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
2 tbsp butter softened
4 oz plain cream cheese softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Slice the top layer off the Hawaiian rolls, keeping the sheet intact so the rolls stay connected.
In a bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Spread about two-thirds of the butter mixture evenly over the inside of the rolls, making sure it reaches the edges. Then replace the top section of the rolls.
Spread the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbling.
While the rolls bake, prepare the frosting by mixing the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spread or drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls before serving.
