Method
 

  1. Open cinnamon rolls and unroll each one carefully on a floured surface. Add a small amount of blue food coloring and knead until evenly blue (wear gloves!).
  2. Crush half the Oreos and sprinkle over blue dough. Add a few whole Oreos on top and press gently into dough.
  3. Roll up the dough loosely and place rolls into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  4. Brush tops with melted butter and bake at 375°F for 18–22 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
  5. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar, vanilla, and blue coloring. Adjust for sweetness and vibrancy.
  6. Spread blue frosting over warm rolls. Add candy eyes and sprinkle with crushed cookies and optional white chocolate chips.
  7. Best served warm. For extra magic, pair with a glass of cold milk!
