M&M'S Chocolate Raspberry Rose Buns

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. Using rolling pin, roll out each biscuit round into 5-inch circle. Cut four slits in each round to create quadrants, leaving center intact. Spoon 1 tbsp jam into center of each round. Add 1 tbsp M&M’S to center of each bun.

3. Lift one quadrant of dough up and twist around M&M’S. Lift second quadrant up, twisting slightly and attaching to the first quadrant. Repeat with remaining quadrants, pressing and pinching to secure dough, to resemble petals and create a “rose.” Arrange each bun in muffin cup; brush tops with egg.

4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely.

5. Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and syrupy, adding extra milk if necessary. Brush glaze over buns; fill buns with remaining M&M’S. Let stand until set.

Tips:

Bake these buns first thing in the morning to enjoy the same day.

Use a thick, good-quality jam to ensure it doesn’t run or scorch during baking.

Also delicious with orange marmalade, or red currant or blueberry jam.
