Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 1 can pre-made biscuit dough (approximately 16 oz)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped peppermint bark pieces

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 23 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough and cinnamon filling: Roll out the pre-made biscuit dough on a clean surface into a rough rectangle. Brush the melted butter evenly across the dough, then sprinkle generously with a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the classic cinnamon roll flavor.
  2. Add the peppermint bark pieces: Evenly scatter the chopped peppermint bark over the cinnamon-sprinkled dough to ensure every bite has bits of minty chocolate.
  3. Roll and slice the dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other, forming a spiral shape. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into even pieces approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  4. Arrange in the pan and bake: Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving small gaps for expansion. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Make the glaze and drizzle: Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until smooth and pourable. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze generously over the tops to finish with a shiny, sweet coating.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough for easier rolling and less cracking or shrinking during baking.
  • Chop peppermint bark finely for better distribution and neat melting in the rolls.
  • Don’t overbake; aim for soft and tender rolls with a golden crust.
  • Slightly warm the glaze before drizzling to help it flow smoothly over warm rolls.
  • Allow rolls to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to keep them intact.
