Brush the butter over the roll-ups then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, until completely coated.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining roll-ups, placing them on the baking sheet after coating.

Step 8

Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 months.

Step 9

Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400°F.
