Caramel Nut Rolls
My family loves a caramel topping for my home made cinnamon rolls instead of the normal sugar glaze. It's pretty easy to make once you have some dinner roll dough mixed up.
Ingredients
- 1 batch of Basic Dinner Rolls
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1-2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 to 1/2 c sugar or brown sugar
- Caramel-Nut Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp corn syrup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 c chopped pecans
Instructions
-
Mix up a batch of Basic Dinner Rolls dough (posted separately) knead it and leave to rise.
-
Meanwhile combine ingredients to Caramel topping in a small sauce pan and heat until butter melts.
-
Mix and pour into a greased 9x13 pan .
-
After dough rises once roll out on a floured surface to about a size of 12"x16".
-
Spread butter on dough aside from a 1 inch strip on both the long sides of rectangle.
-
Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over butter.
-
Starting with a long side roll the dough towards the other long edge making a long cylinder shape.
-
Seal the dough along the final unbuttered edge.
-
Cut into 1 inch slices (I like to cut in half, cut the halves into halves and so on..)
-
Place each slice and place in greased pan on top of caramel mixture.
-
Let rise for about 30-60 mins.
-
Bake at 375 for 20-25 mins (until cooked).
-
Let cool for a min or two and then flip onto a large platter or cool cookie sheet.
Recipe Notes
While the recipe calls for a rectangle pan I prefer to split it into two batches and bake it all in two silicone cake pans. It's a great way to prevent to much of the caramel topping from sticking to the pan and saves me from a huge cleanup.Get more delicious recipes to make your family drool on our Cake Pinterest Board:

Caramel Nut Rolls http://t.co/9xOCOyieA5
So glad I stopped by from the Wednesday Roundup~this is a great recipe and one of husband’s favorites. I used to make store bought ones for him every Friday to take to work but they dont’ hae them any longer. Definitely giving this a try!
Caramel is my hubby’s favorite too! He has an all around sweet tooth, but if he has a choice, he always goes straight for caramel. 🙂
OMG these look absolutely delicious and they look almost like monkey bread. So glad I found this. My husband would love these, I’ll have to try this one!
I wonder if I could make a peanut butter version of these?
Maybe pretty close, if you found a peanut butter frosting or icing recipe and substitute it for the caramel sauce. You could mix 1 part cocoa powder to 2 parts sugar and roll the rolls in it before you put them in, too… could be good or could be a big mess. Let me know if you try it!
