A hot roll mix puts the quick in preparation of these sweet sticky yeast buns, studded with cinnamon chips.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup packed light brown sugar - divided use
10 tablespoons butter, softened - divided use
1 (16-ounce) package hot roll mix
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup hot water (120°F to 130°F | 50°C to 55°C)
1 large egg
1 2/3 cups (10-ounce package) HERSHEY'S Cinnamon Chips

Cooking Directions:

1. Grease two 9-inch round baking pans.
2. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 4 tablespoons softened butter in small bowl until smooth; spread half of mixture in bottom of each prepared pan. Set aside.
3. Combine contents of hot roll mix package, yeast packet and granulated sugar in large bowl. Using spoon, stir in water, 2 tablespoons butter and egg until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
4. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, shape into ball. Knead 5 minutes or until smooth, using additional flour if necessary.
5. To shape: Using lightly floured rolling pin, roll into 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread with remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon chips, pressing lightly into dough.
