These were just incredible! The first batch I made I followed the recipe to the letter; the second batch I used marshmallow creme as a filling (added after the rolls were baked) for a "Fluffernutter" type tribute! I left some of both kinds at home for us and took the rest to work; neither made it past the morning!! I just can't get over how amazing these are! Thank you so much for answering my request!
