Caramel nut PB cinnamon rolls

I've been craving sweets all day so I decided to make cinnamon rolls. I think they turned out pretty good!

Ingredients

Dough
About 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 packet instant yeast
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine/ butter
1/4 c water
1/4 cup sugar
1tsp salt

Filling
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/4 c cinnamon
1 cup Reese's peanut butter baking chips

Topping
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp cream cheese softened
Caramel & nuts (optional)

Directions
Mix all 2 cups flour and all dry dough ingredients in a medium/large bowl. Bring milk to a boil in a saucepan, remove from heat add margarine and stir until melted.
Add egg, water, and milk mixture to dry ingredients. mix well adding flour as needed. Then knead for 5 minutes then set in a oiled bowl covered with damp cloth for 10 minutes. then remove cloth and place dough on flat surface
. Roll out into a rectangle or the closest to a rectangle you can get lol. Because clearly mines didn't remotely resemble a rectangle :-D. And spread with filling ( mix all filling ingredients well) this is when you would sprinkle the peanut butter chips over the filling mix. (not shown)
. Roll like a jelly roll and cut into 12- 16 cinnamon rolls. I place in a pan with caramel and nuts at the bottom which made that batch more like sticky buns/rolls. i used the honey roasted almonds cashews and peanuts i had on hand.
. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes then top with icing topping which is made by mixing all topping ingredients well. Let cool and serve :-) they were delish! “If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment .As always,Don’t forget to Subscribe :-)

when made in muffin tins rather than a pan the edges come out more crisp.. Enjoy soft and fluffy or crisp and gooey! :)
