How to Store
Storing these is simple:
- Be sure to allow to completely cool before storing.
- We do not frost all of the cinnamon rolls, so we store the frosting in a seperate air tight container.
- Store rolls in an air tight container, or wrapped in foil.
- Both may be kept for up to one week, in the fridge.
Reheating
These are great re-heated for a snack later in the week
- Re-heat in by placing on a plate, and microwaving at half power for 30 seconds.
- May also place a cinnamon roll on foil and place in 350 F. oven for 15 minutes.
- If keeping cream cheese frosting seperate, add after cinnamon roll is heated up;
Substitutions
You may want to make variatons with different flavor profiles
- Ground chicken will work in this white chili
- Swap a red or green pepper for the poblano for a more mild version
- Add diced jalapēno for a kick!
