This is the end result of numerous attempts to experiment with and modify a cinnamon roll recipe I was given the first time I visited the United States. Enjoy it, I hope!

The cranberry sauce is really nice. I always use it instead of jelly now 🙂

I had never even heard of chili sauce! One reviewer said you find it in the ketchup aisle and that’s true. I needed something to bring to a potluck at work and decided to try this. These little things are delicious and very addicting. I made a double batch and already it looks like I won’t be taking any home!! I’d like them to be a little spicier next time.

Great tangy flavored sauce. We served them over rice to made a main dish. I imagine they would be great over noodles too. I could easily use them as appetizer dish at a party too. I had 4 pounds of little smokies(from a warehouse store) and there was more than enough sauce for them.

Made these over the holidays and they were a hit. I like to read other reviews for additional suggestions so i also added 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Think it gave them an extra kick. Will try them again.

holy moley, these were DELICIOUS. a great combo of sweet and spicey! needs no changes!!
Debra Morales
Have been making these for years except instead of the cranberry sauce, I’ve used grape jelly. This is very good too!
Monique Larson
Would not make this again with the cranberry sauce, grape jam is much better with the chili sauce.
John Walker

Frank Salazar

This was so, so good! I did what one other user suggested and added 1 T lemon juice and 2 T brown sugar. I was not really familiar with Chili Sauce. It was beside the ketchup at the grocery store. I wonder if the person who gave a poor review used some other ingredient. I did find that some hot dog chili was labeled “chili sauce”

I made exactly as recipe is and it was too tangy for us. So I took someones suggestion and added 2 tbl. brown sugar and 1 tbl. lemon juice and it was PERFECT! Made these for New Years party and everyone LOVED them! Even got asked for the sauce recipe! Will definitely make this again!

YUM! Just made these for my hubby and he loved them. Me, too! I took the suggestion of several reviewers and added 2 tablespoons brown sugar and about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. I’m southern and we LOVE that sweet and sour business. I use the grape jelly, chili sauce recipe for meatballs and this with the cranberry sauce was just different enough to make the two very distinct. PLUS I used up the cranberry jelly that wasn’t eaten at Christmas. Giving this 4 stars since I changed the printed recipe but it’s very easy, very fast and very good.

this is a great appetizer for the holidays!!! it is so simple and the sauce comes out so nice and thick. i have previously always made the recipes with cocktail sauce and grape jelly, the flavor is good but the sauce is always runny! this is a much better and easier sauce!
Casey Gibson
I must have gotten the wrong chili sauce because these were way too spicy, they were not a hit at my party. Even those people who claim the spicier the better thought they weren’t good.
Kyle Chavez
THIS WAS SO EASY AND GOOD MY CHILDREN LOVED THE SAUCE, THE ATE EVERY BIT OF IT AND POUED THE SAUCE ON THIER BRISKET!! A MUST TRY!!
Sandra Welch
Tasty and easy. Will make again.
Veronica Smith
These were very good. I usually just use BBQ sauce, I like this better. I heated on the stove, then transfered to a small crock pot,Thanks.
Christine Brown
My sister makes this in the crock pot all the time (on low and keep an eye on it)and I just LOVE it. She adds the lemon juice and brown sugar that another reviewer mentioned. Can’t stop eating it!
Sara Dennis
Ok, but really too spicy.
Sherry Jenkins
Love this! Making it for the second time tonight. Made it at Halloween and it was a huge hit with everyone. Great leftovers as well.
Tara Beasley
This recipe couldn’t get any simpler. They were a huge hit with kids and adults. Just be sure not to cook them too long. Will definetely make these again.
