To make a fun snack for the family to share, you can make your cinnamon rolls in a waffle iron, then cut them into strips. After doing that, you can then dip your cinnamon roll sticks into the frosting, as well as other fun dips such as chocolate sauce, strawberry jam or syrup.
If you have leftover frosting, it is best to store the remainder in the fridge. Cream cheese-based frosting can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and in the freezer for up to one month.
