CARAMEL-PECAN STICKY BUNS

Caramel-Pecan Sticky Buns image

My mother used to make delicious cinnamon rolls when I was a child. Later, she taught my sister and me to make them. I've since added the caramel and pecans. These scrumptious sticky buns are a huge hit wherever I take them. -Judy Powell, Star, Idaho
