To Die for Cinnamon Rolls   
(from Leadership Retreat - courtesy of Paula Knopp)

3/4 Cup of each of the following ingredients:
          White sugar
          Brown Sugar (packed)
          Butter
          Vanilla Ice Cream
Heat together and boil for 1 minute.  Watch that it doesn't boil over.

Grease/Spray with Pam an extra-large disposable aluminum pan or 2 9x13 aluminum pans.
Arrange the 12 Rhodes frozen cinnamon rolls in the bottom of the pan.  Pour the hot boiled mixture over the rolls. (You can double and triple the batch - if using a 9x13 place 8 to 9 rolls in each)

I put all of this in a cold oven to rise over night.  (I usually make these about 10pm and they are okay in the morning).  Take the rolls out of the oven before pre-heating to 350 degrees.  Bake the rolls for about 20 to 25 minutes.  Make sure they are browned on top or the rolls will be too gooey and not done all the way through.  Knead the icing included with the rolls and spread over the rolls while hot.
