For the Dough
- 1 package sweet roll dough (about 12 oz)
Filling
- 12 peanut butter cups, halved
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Optional Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Dough: Allow the sweet roll dough to come to room temperature if refrigerated. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12×9 inches.
- Add Filling: Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the rolled-out dough. Arrange the halved peanut butter cups evenly across the dough, pressing slightly so they stay in place.
- Form Rolls: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, enclosing the peanut butter cups inside. Pinch the seam to seal the rolls well.
- Slice Rolls: Cut the rolled log into 9 equal pieces (approximately 1 ½ inch thick). Place each roll cut-side up into a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Glaze (Optional): Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls before serving for a sweet finish.
Notes
- Use refrigerated sweet roll dough from the store for convenience or prepare your own from scratch for a fresher taste.
- Ensure peanut butter cups are evenly distributed to avoid clumping.
- Glaze is optional but adds a delightful sweetness and shine to the rolls.
- Serve warm for the best gooey peanut butter experience.
