Photos and story by MAKENZIE WHITTLE • The Bulletin
M
ost attacks of the munchies result in rummaging through your pantry or fridge in search of something, anything that can satisfy a craving. While
you may prefer not to prepare for those inevitable 4/20 snacks in advance, the recipes below require little effort and minimal groceries, making them
wonderful pairings to your chosen method of imbibing.
If the annual “high” holiday is just an-
other Tuesday for you, the meals below are
just as tasty while sober.
BACON CINNAMON ROLLS
Mixing the salty, savoriness of the bacon
into the sweet and spicy rolls is really the
perfect combination for a breakfast treat.
Ingredients
1 can of store-bought cinnamon rolls
10 strips of bacon
Directions
Preheat the oven according to the direc-
tions on the cinnamon roll tube.
Cook the bacon using your preferred
method, until cooked but still soft (soggy
bacon fans can rejoice). Set aside to cool
and pat dry the grease from the strips with a
paper towel.
Open and separate the can of cinnamon
rolls. Take one roll and carefully unroll it on
a cutting board.
Take two strips of bacon and lay them on
the dough then re-roll the bun and place it
on a baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining
rolls.
Bake according to the cinnamon roll di-
rections until golden brown.
Allow rolls to cool slightly before icing or
frosting is applied.
Serve warm.
