Oh, Mary, these are so delicious - they should be so much harder to make, but they're a snap! I made them exactly as described, only I wished I had jumbo muffin tins, because these gorgeous rolls wanted to bust right out of my regular sized ones! I did use paper muffin cups, to make clean up easier. I also found that once I cut them into twelve pieces, I had to roll them a bit tighter to fit them in - there's a lot of filling (don't cut down on the deliciousness!), and I added some back on top of the rolls to use up the extra that spilled out. I'd been looking for exactly this recipe for years - I never thought it was a yeast recipe that I was looking for - but the search is over - these are absolutely amazing! Made for PAC Fall 2009 ~ You were adopted! **Updated 12/24/09 ~ I've made these a few times since - without the paper muffin cups, and today in a 9x13" pan instead of a muffin pan. They have turned out wonderful every time!! I made an icing for drizzling out of 1 cup icing sugar, and 2 tbsp milk. Wonderful!!
