  Just a few basic ingredients is all you need to turn prepped Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls into a peppermint and cake batter explosion of delicious.
  
  Unroll a can of Pillsbury™ Cinnamon Rolls with Original Icing. Top it with a mixture of melted butter and ooey, gooey Betty Crocker chocolate cake batter.
  
  Re-roll the cinnamon rolls and gently pull them apart at the seams.
  
  Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9" cake pan.
  
  Bake until golden brown.
  
  Prep a tube of frosting by mixing half a jar of Betty Crocker vanilla frosting with red gel food coloring and a smidgen of peppermint extract. Spoon each color into one half of a pastry bag fit with a large star tip.
