Notes
- Nutrition Information does not include the packaged cinnamon rolls. If you need exact amounts you will need to calculate on your own.
- Storage Information:
- Leftovers: If you somehow have any sticky buns left, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days—just let them come to room temp before enjoying or reheat gently.
- Freezing: To freeze, wrap the sticky buns individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.
