Ingredients:

• 1 package of King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
• 6oz ham slices
• 6oz pineapple, sliced thick
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Method:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   2. Remove the King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls from the package, keeping the loaf intact.
   3. Carefully slice the entire loaf open to create a top and a bottom section of connected rolls and place the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet.
   4. Add the Swiss cheese, followed by ham, then pineapple, in even layers on the bottom section and place the top section of rolls on top to create one large sandwich.
   5. Brush the top section of the rolls with melted butter and cover with foil.
   6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 2 minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Ingredients:

For rolls:

• 2 packages of King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
• 1 stick butter (½ cup softened)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

For icing:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tsp milk

Method:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a baking sheet.
   2. Combine the softened butter, honey, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a small bowl and mix thoroughly to create honey butter.
   3. Remove the King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls from the package, keeping the loaf intact.
   4. Carefully slice the entire loaf open to create a top and a bottom section of connected rolls and place the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet.
   5. Spread both cut sides of the rolls generously with the honey butter.
   6. Combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the honey butter.
   7. Combine the tops and bottoms of the rolls, creating one large sandwich and brush the tops with the remaining honey butter.
   8. Cover with foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until warm.
   9. Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar and milk until desired consistency is reached. The more milk you use, the thinner the icing.
