Teddy Bear Rolls

Submitted by Baby Chevelle

"These are the cutest rolls you'll ever eat! I loved all the raves..And they taste good too. I started making these for my boys when they were about 6, 8 and 10. Had to always make lots for all their friends, and all the adults loved them too. The honey butter is delish too. This is another recipe from Taste of Home. I also did tie a ribbon around the neck of the bears for the kids.(well, maybe the adults too!) If you have kids or grandkids they will be sooo excited to see the bread at the table. I often made these in the winter for my boys and their friends as a treat."
