A holiday, like Labor Day, calls for the same indulgent and relaxing breakfast that is normally reserved for Sunday brunch. Cinnamon rolls may not seem relaxing, since they require a fair amount of time in the kitchen, but the results are well worth it. These rolls have the adorable name of iced cinnamon snails and were made by JenJen of Milk and Cookies. The buttery snails are loaded with currants, raisins and brown sugar, and are finished with a simple vanilla powdered sugar icing that adds an extra bit of sweetness. The recipe used to make these came from Sydney Food, which has been the source of several recent examples of food porn. If it's not on your wish list already, count this as another reason it should be.

Food Porn aptly describes these sinful-looking cinnamon buns. I can't wait to try them out.

They look so good, my sugar is climbing just from the picture! But I do want to mention a Cinnamon Bun that is to die for (If you're diabetic, I mean litterally!) Costco (of all places) used to sell Cinnamon Buns with Creamcheese Icing. Never in my life had I tasted something so delicious! I don't think they make them any more, but I thought I would mention them.

They look as sinful as thost iced honey buns my wife and I love but don't dare even taste.
I love the currants and raisins in the mix. They add something special to an already special treat.
Try the same recipe but substitute mincemeat for the raisins and currants. Holy moley is that ever a spike in flavor!
