½ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
⅜ teaspoon almond extract
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons butter, melted

½ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (195 degrees C).
Combine softened butter or margarine, brown sugar, flour, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. Mix well. Spoon mixture into 12 ungreased muffin cups.
Separate dough into 4 long rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Combine melted butter and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract; brush on dough. Sprinkle with nuts, and roll dough up jellyroll fashion. Cut each roll of dough into 3 slices. Place in muffin cups.
Place muffin pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. When done, invert rolls immediately onto cooling rack.
