Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4cup PLANTERS Chopped Pecans
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, divided
1/3cup maple-flavored or pancake syrup
1/2cup sugar
1tsp. ground cinnamon
2cans (12 oz. each) refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits
1pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cut into 20 cubes

Steps:

  • HEAT oven to 400°F.
  • SPRINKLE nuts onto bottom of 12-cup fluted pan or 10-inch tube pan sprayed with cooking spray. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in small microwaveable bowl. Stir in syrup; drizzle over nuts in pan.
  • MELT remaining butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon in shallow dish. Separate dough into 20 biscuits; flatten each to 1/4-inch thickness. Roll cream cheese cubes in cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated; place 1 in center of each biscuit. Gather up sides of dough to enclose filling; press edges together to seal. Roll each into ball; dip top in remaining butter, then in cinnamon sugar. Arrange half the balls, cinnamon sugar-sides up, in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining balls to form second layer. Top with any remaining butter and cinnamon sugar.
  • BAKE 30 min. or until golden brown. Cool 1 min. in pan; invert onto serving plate. Remove pan. Top buns with any remaining nuts in pan; cool slightly.
