Sugar Snails

Introduction

Sugar Snails are a fun, sweet treat made with simple pantry ingredients and a touch of nostalgia. Soft sandwich bread is rolled with a creamy filling, coated in buttery cinnamon sugar, and baked until lightly golden. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an easy dessert, these little rolls are quick to prepare and always a hit with kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• White sandwich bread – 1 loaf

• Cream cheese, room temperature – 1 package (8 oz)

• Egg – 1

• Granulated sugar, divided – ¾ cup

• Cinnamon – 1½ teaspoons

• Butter, melted – ½ cup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin and flexible.

Step 3: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the egg and ¼ cup of the sugar, mixing until well combined and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each flattened bread slice. Roll up tightly, then cut each roll into halves or thirds. Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: Add Topping and Bake
Brush the rolls generously with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the remaining ½ cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the rolls. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Serve warm.

Conclusion

Sugar Snails are a simple yet irresistible treat that comes together quickly with everyday ingredients. Soft, creamy, and coated in sweet cinnamon sugar, they’re perfect for cozy mornings, special brunches, or an easy dessert. Enjoy them fresh from the oven for the best flavor and texture.
