Mini Monkey Breads


12 Rhodes™ Dinner rolls, thawed but still cold
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½  teaspoons cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cardamom

Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk or water
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ tsp almond extract

Cut each dinner roll into 6 equal pieces. In a bowl, combine butter and corn syrup and stir until well mixed. In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Dip 6 roll pieces at a time in the butter mixture and then in the sugar mixture. Place 6 pieces in each well sprayed cup of a 12 cup muffin tin. Repeat with remaining roll pieces. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 15-20 minutes. Cool 3-4 minutes before removing from pan. Combine icing ingredients and mix well. Drizzle over monkey breads. Serve warm or cool and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

For Mini Lemon Monkey Breads, substitute white sugar for brown sugar, substitute the zest of a large lemon (or two small) for the spices. In the icing, substitute ½ tsp of lemon extract for vanilla and omit the almond extract.
