Eclectic Red Barn: Sticky Buns from Crescent Rolls

Sticky Buns from Crescent Rolls

I have made many versions of sticky buns in my lifetime, but these ones have to be the easiest. I sent them into my husbands work yesterday. They put them in their toaster oven and reheated them so they were warm and gooey. They were a big hit.

These were easy to make. I used pecans because I have so many of them. You could also use walnuts or just make them without nuts.

This recipe uses crescent rolls as the dough. So if you don't want to wait for dough to rise, these are for you.

Use two tubes of crescent rolls to make a rectangle. Fill with filling, roll up and cut into pieces and place in pan with half of the topping.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. To serve, heat remaining topping and pour over rolls, then add glaze. I put the topping on once it was cooled and then added the glaze. All they had to do was reheat them.

Easy, yummy and gooey. You can't go wrong!
