FAQs
Can I use homemade dough instead of store-bought sweet roll dough?
Yes, homemade dough works beautifully and adds a personal touch. Just make sure it’s rolled out to the right thickness for even baking.
Do I need to thaw the peanut butter cups before using?
No need to thaw them; placing them frozen or at room temperature inside the dough works well. Baking will melt them perfectly.

- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Dough
- Sweet roll dough – enough for 12 rolls (prepared or homemade)
Filling
- 12 peanut butter cups (standard size, unwrapped)
Optional Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Allow your sweet roll dough to come to room temperature if refrigerated. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 12×8 inches.
- Add the Filling: Place one peanut butter cup on the dough at the short edge, then carefully roll the dough around the peanut butter cup, sealing the edges well to prevent any leaking during baking. Repeat for all rolls.
- Arrange the Rolls: Place the stuffed rolls seam-side down into a greased baking dish, leaving space between each roll to expand.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze (Optional): While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a smooth glaze consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top for a sweet finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter cups are well sealed inside the dough to avoid leakage during baking.
- Use cream cheese frosting as an alternative glaze for a richer finish.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently before serving.
- For a nut-free alternative, replace peanut butter cups with chocolate chips and chopped nuts of your choice.
