These rolls are best served warm. You can drizzle extra peanut butter or chocolate spread on top for added flavor. They pair well with fresh fruit like banana slices or strawberries. A dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of whipped cream can also add a fun touch!

If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or a warm pan to restore their crispiness.

  • Make sure to use soft bread for the best texture.
  • If you want a richer flavor, use flavored peanut butter or add a bit of honey to the spread.
  • For a fun twist, try adding sliced bananas or strawberries inside the rolls before rolling them up.
