Do you need a quick recipe for Easter brunch tomorrow? I have your back! This recipe for caramel rolls is so easy and is guaranteed to be a hit. With just four ingredients and a few simple steps, these rolls have become my go-to for a farm crew morning treat, family weekend breakfasts, and brunch dish to share.

- Flip pan over onto a large cookie sheet, platter, or larger baking dish.
- Enjoy caramel goodness!
Most of these ingredients I always have in my pantry, but I’ve found myself always having one or two bags of the frozen Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls in my freezer lately too. These rolls have become a family favorite and a hit with the farm crew! It makes my heart happy when my step-dad, Mike requests them when I visit him and my mom back in southern Minnesota, and they are such an easy thing to prepare for family brunches when I want to bring a dish to share!
These caramel rolls have also become a favorite on the farm. I made them quite often during the weekends last fall for the harvest crew, because hey, they work hard and need a treat once in a while. 😉 I made a pan this morning for Jacob to take with him as he, Ben, and Jay are working on a big project in the pig barns. Figured they needed a little burst of energy this morning!
Now, these rolls are also delicious to just enjoy by yourself with a cup of coffee in the quiet of a weekend morning. I indulged in one this morning by doing just this. Both Jacob and I have been fighting nasty colds and I finally had my appetite back this morning, so I had to sneak one out of the pan before Jacob left home.
I pray that you all have a blessed Easter with those that you love most.
Rooted in ag and led by faith,
