Funny Monsters Pumpkin Bread Rolls
Equipment
- microwave
- mixer
Ingredients
- 12 King's Hawaiian Original Dinner Rolls
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon light brown sugar or other sweetener of choice
- gummy worms
- ½ cup candy melts orange and/or green
- candy eyeballs 2 sizes
Instructions
- Cut roll in half; reserve. Then, prepare filling: place cream cheese, pumpkin spice and puree, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Beat until combined and smooth. Pipe onto each dinner roll.
- Top filling with a few gummy worms. Cover filling with the top half of the roll. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy melts according to the package instructions. Spoon onto rolls and place candy eyes on top while still unset. Let sit for about 5 minutes until candy melts set. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Once candy melts set, store these pumpkin bread rolls wrapped in parchment paper or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Let sit at room temp before serving -- so rolls can soften.
- If you don't have pumpkin puree at home, skip it and use only pumpkin pie spice to flavor the cream cheese spread.
- You can either pipe the pumpkin filling or spoon onto the bottom face of the roll.
- You can also sub honey or any sweetener of your choice for brown sugar.
- If you don't have candy melts, use melted white chocolate mixed with food coloring.
