Twist ends of each strip in opposite directions. Arrange twists on pecans in pan.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can soften brown sugar by sealing it in an airtight container with an apple slice for a couple days.
  • tip 2
    Walnuts would make a nice stand-in for the pecans.
  • tip 3
    Serve these moist, rich, delicious coffee cake twists on a silver platter lined with doilies at your next tea party.
