Bake Me Happy...Cinnamon Crumb Sticks

We have this local pizza place here named Double Daves.  Let me just start by saying, their pizzas are delish, but their Pepperoni Rolls ROCK!  Totally. Love. Them!  But I have to be honest and tell you that what calls us back there time and again is not the pizza nor the rolls.  It is their cinnamon sticks.  

There truly are no words to describe them. 

They are out of this world.  AH-Mazing!

We can eat a whole tray of these things before we even eat our dinner...then we want to take another tray home to snack on later.  We don't, of course, but we WANT to.  Ok, sometimes we do. 

Jeesh...don't be so judgy! 

Well, one day I was purusing the Internet and I found these totally awesome looking Cinnamon Crumby thingys that looked just like them!  So I had to make them and find out for myself.  (Forgive me for not linking back to the site I found them at as I have no idea where it was...I printed the recipe and stuck it in a folder and it doesn't say anywhere on it where it came from....grrrrrr). 

This recipe sat on my counter for a week as I tried to find sometime to make them. 

Then on Thursday, after my sons baseball practice, I came home to find these sitting on the counter.



Mr. AKM had come home from school early and decided to surprise us all with a little treat!

And not only did he make these awesome little snacks...which taste WAY better then Double Daves, he took pictures of the whole process. 




Isn't he the awesome-st EVER?  I think so! 



Just get a look at all that cinnamon and sugary goodness! 

YUM-O!

So if your looking for an easy, cinnamon-y, totally DELISH treat, you simply MUST make these!

Heck, if Mr. AKM can pull these off, anyone can!

    4. Well that's kinda awesome. I mean, my husband doesn't know how to turn on the camera, let alone the oven. And I'm totally not judging you for ordering a second tray of cinnamon sticks to bring home. I've been known to order a pizza from the joint near my parents' house and drive it home 2 hours. :)

    5. Sorry for being so inexperienced. I tried a search to find this, but your phrase "Cut in butter" might be unique to your recipes - at least as far as the world wide web is concerned...
      I'm going to try your recipe, but what does that phrase mean? Do I cut the butter into small pieces and combine with the sugars until I have a paste? If so, would it even matter how large the pieces of butter are? Do I use a grate to cut the butter into thin slices and then combine by tossing in (previously combined) sugars? I think you would have said it that way if that was what you meant. You also said "cold" butter, but you didn't say "frozen", so I know that much.
      Is the butter to be in little chunks and covered with the dark and regular sugar combination like little sugar-coated butter balls? If so, how large? 1/4 inch chunks? 1/2 inch? 1/8th inch?
      Thank you for sharing your recipe. My wife found it and thought this would be a great way for me to use the unopened package of puff pastry sheets I've had sitting in the freezer for about a year now.
