Say Goodbye to the Last of Winter With These Spiced Cinnamon Buns

Be honest with yourself: Just how many times in a winter do you find yourself staring at the display of Cinnabon Lip Balm at your local CVS, only to find yourself suddenly craving cinnamon buns?

Us too! And if you're really like us, you've probably noticed that the store clerks already have a series of signals they make when they see you approaching.

Don't worry. There's no cause for alarm, because these winter-spiced cinnamon buns are so easy to make, you  just might be able to mend your ways—and convince your local magistrate judge to forget all about that pending restraining order.

RECIPE: Winter-Spiced Cinnamon Buns

Packed with all the spices of winter, these doughy, cinnamony buns are pretty much the physical manifestation of a winter morning. And while the recipe for these buns comes from Vermont's Sugar on Snow Supper—an event held once a year during New England's maple sugaring season—they're so damn good you can pretty much get away with making them all year long.

Trust us, it's time to make yourself some homemade cinnamon buns—and step away from that lip balm display.
