I love orange rolls. I think I almost prefer orange rolls over cinnamon rolls. There is just something about the sweet glaze with a hint of orange in it that I love. These cute little things turned out fantastic! I loved being able to pull apart the little pieces and they were oh so gooey and delicious!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray, set aside.
Set the frozen rolls out at room temperature unthawed but still cold. Cut each roll with a pizza cutter into about 4-6 smaller pieces each.
Mix the 1 cup of sugar and orange zest into a small bowl, rubbing the zest and sugar together with your fingers to release the oils into the sugar, and set aside.
Melt the 1/2 cup butter and mix with the Karo syrup.
Dip each piece of roll dough in the butter and roll it in the sugar mixture. Place the coated pieces into the muffin tins, filling each one about ½ way.
Cover and let the rolls rise until they double in size, about 30-45 minutes. Bake the proofed rolls for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the baked rolls and let them cool completely.
For the sweet orange glaze, mix the powdered sugar, orange zest, 1 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp orange juice, and 1 tsp vanilla together. Drizzle over each of the orange rolls.
