Ingredients
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
½ cup warm milk (about 110 °F / 43 °C)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2 ½ cups all‑purpose flour (plus extra as needed)
½ tsp salt
For the filling:
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped Snickers bars (about 4–5 bars)
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 Tbsp milk or cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit about 5 minutes to proof until foamy.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour if too sticky. Form into a ball.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (~1 hour).
Punch down the dough and roll into a 12×16‑inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough. Finally, sprinkle chopped Snickers pieces across the filling layer.
Starting from a long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch seam to seal. Cut into 9–12 equal rolls using floss or a sharp knife.
Place rolls in a greased 9×13‑inch baking pan; cover and let rise again until nearly doubled, about 30–45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden‑brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla until smooth and drizzleable.
Remove rolls from oven; let rest 5 minutes, then drizzle glaze generously over warm rolls. Serve warm.
