Cinnamon Rolls

The best Cinnamon rolls I have ever had was in Bahrain at Cinnabon, they make amazing cinnamon rolls.

I enjoyed making these rolls.....baking makes me happy ...its very therapeutic and the house smells heavenly .Wanted to try these rolls out ever since I saw it on Ria's Blog...with a few changes..I have used brown sugar instead of regular sugar and added raisins and cashew nuts for crunch.

 You should  definitely try these out...its very simple......and it tastes goooooood.......But Cinnabon still rules .
