Notes
Easy Pecan Sticky Buns
Instead of making your own sweet dough, use" Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls", (not the grand size)
This pretty much eliminates the time to make the dough. (These won't have raisins though, which is usually ok with my kids)
Follow the rest of the directions from above, except for cut the sauce in half.
Use ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 Tbsp Karo Syrup, and as much pecans as you like.
Cook for 18-22 minutes.
