Usually, I visit the King Arthur Flour store and buy a box of cinnamon bun mix and that is how my husband gets his treat! To be honest, he will actually eat the Pillsbury in the can type. I love the smell of cinnamon buns and will eat maybe a half or a bite, but not a big fan of dough type treats. These are quite good however.
