Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup milk, lukewarm
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
2 large eggs, at room temperature

Filling Ingredients

1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3–4 Snickers bars, chopped
Additional melted butter for brushing

Optional Toppings

Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Powdered sugar and cream cheese (for glaze)
Chopped peanuts, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm and stir in the active dry yeast with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit until bubbly, about 5-10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Add the yeast mixture and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Roll Out and Add Filling: After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Brush the surface generously with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Scatter the chopped Snickers bars evenly over the filling.
Shape and Cut Rolls: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into rolls about 1.5 to 2 inches thick, ensuring even swirls of filling in each piece.
Second Rise: Place the rolls spaced evenly in a greased baking pan. Cover with a clean towel and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. The kitchen will fill with a delicious aroma.
Glaze and Serve: While the rolls are still warm, drizzle with caramel sauce or spread cream cheese glaze for extra indulgence. Allow glaze to slightly melt into the rolls before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, active dry yeast and proof it to ensure the dough rises properly.
Balance the filling amount to avoid soggy or leaking rolls.
Slice rolls evenly with a serrated knife or dental floss for neat presentation.
Let rolls cool 5-10 minutes before glazing to prevent glaze from sliding off.
Use room temperature eggs, butter, and milk for better dough consistency and yeast activation.
