Recipe Contest Rules

So I know that it is nearing the end of Thursday, and I know that it is probably to late in the evening to make these wonderful simple Cinnamon rolls made out of a cake mix! Since we are expected to have another round of snow, and since most are off tomorrow, I thought I would share this recipe. Now I am in hopes that you can either get the ingredients or have them on hand! Here for you enjoyment and pleasure, I give you :

The Best Damn Cinnamon Rolls!
***ROLLS***
1 package yellow cake mix
5 cups All purpose flour
2 packages Active dry yeast (1/4 oz ea)
2 1/2 cups Hot water
Softened butter or margarine
Cinnamon and Sugar

***TOPPING***
1/2 cup Butter - melted
1/4 cup Brown sugar - firmly packed
1/4 cup Light corn syrup
1 cup Chopped nuts


Directions:
For Rolls: Grease two 13x9x2 inch pans. Combine cake mix, flour and yeast in large bowl. Stir until well blended. Stir in hot water. Cover and let rise in warm place for 1 hour or until doubled. Divide dough in half. Roll half the dough into large rectangle on floured surface. Spread with generous amount of softened butter - sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up jelly-roll fashion and cut into 12 slices. Place rolls in one pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes - or until doubled. Preheat oven to 375.

For Topping: Combine melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and nuts in liquid measuring cup. Pour evenly over rolls. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm or cool completely.

For a special touch, place 1 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Add 1 to 2 Tbsp. water - stirring until smooth and desired consistency. Drizzle over baked rolls


Now that I have your mouth-watering, undivided attention, I will be holding a new contest. Every Thursday I will give a new recipe for you to try, some will be hard, while others your children can make.What I want you to do is make these recipes and comment on what you think about the recipe, taste, convenience, ingredients, all things associated with it. You have to make EVERY recipe and GIVE a comment by the next weeks recipe. I will give you 2 exemptions, because lets face it, we all want to try, but sometimes life gets in the way. You do have to tell me when you would like to use your exemptions. The contest will last for 10 weeks and at the end of the contest I will draw a name from the people that participated to choose a winner. The prize is a $50.00 gift certificate to use for anything by Aunt B Designs. The contest will begin January 27, 2011.

Game on!!
