Serves: 16 rolls
Ingredients
  • Sticky Ingredirnts:
  • 2 T. butter
  • ⅓ c. milk
  • ⅓ c. dark corn syrup
  • ⅔ c. dark brown sugar
  • Chopped pecans ~optional~ Use them here or you can place them in dough before you roll them up.
  • Rolls/Filling:
  • 2 pkgs. Pillsbury Grands Big and Flaky Crescent Rolls(my preference) or original crescent rolls
  • 4 T.butter,softened and divided
  • ½ c. Dark Brown sugar
  • 1 T.Cinnamon
  • ¼ t. Cloves
  • ¼ t Nutmeg
  • Optional:
  • ½ c. chopped pecans or walnuts added before rolling dough back up or sprinkled in pan with sticky ingredients.
  • ½ c. chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
  1. In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the sticky ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Pour the sticky portion into an 8"x8" prepared square pan.
  3. On a cutting board, or pastry mat, roll out dough one package at a time. Pinch perforations together.
  4. Spread 2 T. of softened butter on each. Sprinkle half of sugar and spice mix. Roll back up as packaged. Pinch to seal. Repeat with other package of dough.
  5. Cut each roll into 8 sections. Dental floss can be used to slice roll easily. See pictures above.
  6. Place rolls in a 4 x 4 arrangement. Flip over rolls with a fork to coat both sides.
  7. Bake original rolls at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes (or longer if using Grands Big and Flaky size) on center rack of oven.
  8. Check rolls for doneness in the center to make sure they are done.
  9. Place on cooling rack for about 2 minutes. Place foil over the top along with a flat-surfaced dish or cutting board.
  10. Using cooking mitts, flip over to allow syrup to coat the rolls. Gently lift off. Be careful as it will still be hot.
  11. If desired, you can top with your favorite nuts.
  12. You could also melt ½ c. chocolate chips. Place it in a small Ziploc bag with one corner snipped off. Drizzle over the top.
