Ingredients 

The secret to these roll-ups lies in their simple yet indulgent ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Roll-Ups:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade, thawed if frozen)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup honey (plus extra for drizzling)

Optional Add-Ins:

• Chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds)
• Mini chocolate chips
• Vanilla extract (a splash for extra flavor)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to whip up these sweet, sticky, and utterly delicious roll-ups? Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

1. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases.
2. Brush the entire surface of the pastry with melted butter, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon Sugar

1. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
2. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4: Roll and Slice

1. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the pastry into a log.
2. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch pieces. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 5: Bake the Roll-Ups

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes , or until the roll-ups are golden brown and puffed.
2. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Step 6: Drizzle with Honey

1. While the roll-ups are still warm, drizzle them generously with honey.
2. Serve warm for a gooey, sticky treat, or let them cool completely before storing.

3. Variations to Try

   While the classic version is divine, here are some creative ways to switch things up:

    
   1. Add Nuts : Sprinkle chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts over the cinnamon sugar for extra crunch.
   2. Chocolate Lovers : Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the buttered pastry before rolling.
   3. Spice It Up : Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar for a unique twist.
   4. Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free puff pastry to make this recipe suitable for dietary restrictions.
   5. Savory Twist : Skip the sugar and honey, and instead sprinkle grated Parmesan and herbs for a savory version.
