I am so forgetful sometimes … let me tell you what I did this morning. I wash and dry my jeans wrong side out … I heard that it helps with fading. I usually turn them right side out when I put the laundry away … but I didn’t this past time … no big deal … right? This morning when I got dressed, I put my jeans on … two legs in … pulled up … and I tried to button and zip, which didn’t work … then I looked down … I forgot to turn them right side out! I could be loosing it … if I ever had it!
Anyway … the point of my story is … while checking out other blogs this morning … I remembered that I wanted to make these Puff Pastry Rose Pops … I almost forgot! Check out Nifty Thrifty Things … it is because of her that I remembered!
Puff pastry is my friend … a truly wonderful invention … that is so conveniently available in the freezer section at the grocery store! Just let it thaw and use it for making appetizers, main dishes, desserts or … rose pops … just in time for Mother’s Day, Teacher Appreciation Day or just to say Thank You.
This is all that you will need … puff pastry, cinnamon, colored sugar, parchment paper and lollipop sticks …
Let a sheet of puff pastry thaw on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with cinnamon and colored sugar …
Roll it up …
Slice into 1-inch pieces …
Insert lollipop sticks and bake …
Make some paper leaves with messages on them and tie them on the sticks …
Easy peasy … now how about making some with different colors of sugar?
Puff Pastry Rose Pops
Colored sugar (start with 1 tablespoon per sheet and add more if you like)
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Place sheets of puff pastry on parchment lined baking sheets.
- Sprinkle the pastry with cinnamon and colored sugar.
- Roll it up into a log.
- Use a sharp knife and cut into 1-inch slices (8-9 slices per log)
- Insert a lollipop stick into each slice … but do not let it come out the top!
- Bake on parchment lined baking sheet for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool completely and tie paper leaves on sticks if desired.
I am looking forward to your comments !
Deanna sent a pic of her roses … they look so nice in the vase 🙂
SWEET SIMPLE STUFF 
these look so good and so darn easy to make.
I use dental floss when cutting things like this. Less chance of squishing down the dough when using a knife. Using dental floss it makes a nice clean cut.

I actually make my own puff pastry. When people order anything with it I cringe… Lots of rolling and folding 😦
It’s tasty stuff though, I’ll have to give these a shot!

Look, some of us have no idea how much sugar or cinnamon to use. Maybe a teaspoon of cinnamon? These look adorable and I would like to make them but I don’t want anyone to spit them out because I used 2 or 3 times too much or too little sugar and cinnamon. Help those of us out who aren’t such great cooks. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this idea. I made them for all the ladies at church for Mother’s Day. Everyone loved them! I wrapped them individually in pink cellophane, tied on a Happy Mother’s Day leaf, and put them all in a vase until time to hand them out. Not sure how to post a picture.
Always look forward to opening your blog.

I would say 1-2 days if wrapped air tight. Let me know how it works for you 😉

Nancy, I made mine on Saturday and on Tuesday we ate the last one. It tasted just fine and was still soft. Because I like cinnamon buns sweet, I spread some powered sugar icing on the back side.
Sweetsimplestuff, I just emailed a picture of my roses to you. Sorry for the delay.
