  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 7 hr 55 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup pecan halves, if desired
  • 1 bag (36.5 oz) frozen cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting (12 rolls)

Steps

  • 1
    In 1-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in corn syrup and whipping cream. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.
  • 2
    Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Pour caramel mixture evenly over bottom of pan. Sprinkle with pecans.
  • 3
    Place frozen rolls in 4 rows by 3 rows evenly on caramel-pecan mixture. Cover with plastic wrap generously sprayed with cooking spray. (Save frosting packet for another use.)
  • 4
    Refrigerate rolls 5 hours or overnight to let dough rise.
  • 5
    About 2 3/4 hours before serving rolls, remove rolls from refrigerator and place pan on cooling rack. Let rolls continue to rise at room temperature about 2 hours or until almost double in size (actual rising time depends on temperature of kitchen).
  • 6
    Heat oven to 375°F. Carefully remove plastic wrap from rolls. Cover pan with foil. Bake 20 minutes; remove foil. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until rolls are deep golden brown. Immediately place heatproof serving plate or tray upside down on pan; carefully turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over rolls 1 minute; remove pan. Serve warm.

  • Use the leftover cream cheese frosting to frost chocolate graham crackers for a super easy sweet treat.
  • Covering the pan with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking ensures that the center rolls will get fully baked.
