Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
While the rolls are still connected, cut the entire 12‑pack in half horizontally and place the bottom layer on a non‑stick or lightly buttered pan.
In a small bowl, combine the dark brown sugar and cinnamon.
Spread a quarter cup of softened butter over the bottom layer of rolls, then sprinkle two‑thirds to three‑quarters of the sugar‑cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
Place the top layer of rolls back on, butter the top with the remaining softened butter, and add the rest of the sugar‑cinnamon mixture evenly across the top.
Bake for 15 minutes.
While the buns bake, make the icing: in a medium bowl whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, salt, 2 tbsp milk (add more milk if needed for a smooth consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth.
When the rolls are done, transfer them to a plate, drizzle with the icing, and serve.
