Pillsbury Flaky Twist With Chocolate Icing



These new cinnamon rolls were on sale the other day at Bj's plus I had a coupon so i figured we would try them out. Here is a list of ingredients:
Enriched Flour Bleached (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil, Sugar, Dextrose, Baking Powder (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate), Wheat Starch, Salt, Corn Starch, Cocoa Processed with Alkali, Corn Syrup Solids, Cinnamon, Mono and Diglycerides, Vital Wheat Gluten, Datem, Xanthan Gum, Whey, Citric Acid, Polysorbate 60, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Artificial Flavor, Colored with Yellow 5, Red 40, and Other Color Added.
Overall the rolls were simple to prepare:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease cookie sheet. Separate dough into 8 rounds, unroll into strips. Make a loop in center of strip as shown. Crisscross ends of strip twice, pinch ends together to secure. Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes. Spread with icing. Super simple but the flavor was a little pasty and almost lard like. I liked the flakyness of the pastry, quick and easy, and great for presentation with company. I also liked the fact that you are given 2 other reipes to try, that were printed on the box. One recipe was with peanut butter and the other recipe was almond and cherry. I do not think I will be trying the product anytime soon due to the overall flavor of the pastry. The frosting was tasty but the pastry needs improvement.
