1/2cupbutterdivided use, melted and cooled just slightly
1/2cupbrown sugarpreferably dark
1tsp.cinnamon

Instructions
Make and Bake the Cinnamon Rolls
Spray a 10x14-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. **If using a standard 9x13-inch pan, only use 10 cinnamon rolls or your pan will overflow in the oven.
Arrange all 12 cinnamon rolls into the prepared baking dish; cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking to the plastic wrap while rising.
Choose your preferred thaw-and-rise method from the back of the Rhodes bag. The regular method takes 3-5 hours on the counter and the refrigerated method takes 8-10 hours, perfect for overnight.
Once the rolls have nearly doubled in size, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (or 325 degrees F. if using a glass pan)
Lightly pour the whipping cream directly over the raised rolls, allowing them to rest for 5 minutes at this point.
In a bowl, combine 6 Tbs. pf the melted butter with the brown sugar and cinnamon; gently spoon this mixture over the rolls, using a spatula to spread it out evenly, if needed.
Bake the cinnamon rolls, uncovered, for 22-28 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and fully baked at the very center. While the rolls cool a bit, prepare the frosting.
Prepare the Frosting
In a bowl, combine the contents of both packages of frosting (that came in the Rhodes bag) with 2 Tbs. melted butter, the cream cheese, pinch of kosher salt, and vanilla extract; add the milk a little at at time until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
