We love the holiday season, it’s a time to get together and share time with family and friends. It’s a time to make family memories and of traditions. One of those family traditions is spending quality time in the kitchen with the kids creating delicious holiday treats. We love baking cookies and making sweet treats but sometimes this can take too much time and there is never enough time, specially during the holiday season!

That is why we always try to find ways in which we can bake delicious treats easier and quicker and that is where the Pillsbury products come in. By using Pillsbury products like Pillsbury cookie dough and cinnamon rolls we can made sweet desserts and holiday treats in no time and spend more time with our loved ones sharing them!

As the holidays draw closer our home is always filled with family and friends. Last weekend we had my parents and some friends over for a gift wrapping get together. We created some delicious cranberry and mango cinnamon roll bites which where a total hit and they only took minutes to make.

Cranberry Mango Cinnamon Roll Bites Recipe

Ingredients

• Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
• ¾ cups of water
• ¼ cup orange juice
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 12onz bag of fresh cranberries
• 1 cup mango, cut into cubes

1. Pour water, orange juice and sugar in a medium sauce pan.
2. Bring to a boil and stirring until sugar dissolves.
3. Add cranberries and lower heat.
4. Let them simmer for 10-15 minutes until cranberries have popped.
5. Remove from heat, add mango pieces and stir.
6. Let cool.
7. Slice each cinnamon roll of dough into four pie-like triangles. Then pinch the edges together to make a little round mini cinnamon bite.
8. Put the cinnamon bites into a mini cupcake baking pan and bake for aprox 8 minutes or until golden brown.I sprayed the pan with non-stick spray but you can also use mini cupcake liners.
9. Once the mini cinnamon bites are out of the oven place them in mini cupcake liners.
10. Add a spoonful of cranberry mango sauce and drizzle with frosting while they are still warm.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These little cinnamon bites where so good! Everyone loved them and they were gone in no time. The cranberry mango sauce gave them a festive, holiday taste while still including some of those tropical flavors that always remind me of spending Christmas back home in Guatemala with my family. Their small size made these perfect for entertaining as people could just pop them in their mouth and there was no mess.

We always buy Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and cookie dough at our neighborhood Walmart and keep it in the fridge so that we can just pot it out and bake something delicious in no time if we have unexpected holiday guests!
