One of the best parts of Christmas Day at our house is the food.  It's all about finger foods, snacks, small appetizers & treats, and little bites that everyone can come and help themselves to during the day. Whether we're playing games, chatting with family and friends, or enjoying new gifts, the kitchen is usually the hub, and I love having plenty of food for everyone to enjoy. Everyone gets to choose their favorites, and then I like to add something new! This year I made Pecan Sticky Bun Bites, and not only are they super easy to make, they are so yummy, and perfect for Christmas!

I love using Pillsbury Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, because it makes it SO quick and easy! I used kitchen scissors to cut the unbaked rolls into quarters, then slid them on a paper straw cut in half. You can use lollipop sticks too!  Once they're baked, I dip them in caramel and roll them in nuts.  That's it!   I've done a few trial runs this week, and I can barely get them finished and on a plate before they are completely devoured.

Ingredients
  • 1 can Pillsbury Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
  • Wrapped caramels
  • 1-2 T. heavy cream or half and half
  • Chopped Pecans
  • Paper straws or lollipop sticks
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil, and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls, and use kitchen scissors to to cut each one into quarters. Slide one piece on each paper straw (cut in half) or lollipop stick, then lay them down on the cookie sheet.
  3. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until light golden brown. Let cool completely.
  4. While they're baking, unwrap your caramels and place in a glass bowl. Add about a tablespoon of heavy cream for every 30 or so caramels, and then melt in the microwave for about a minute. Stir, then continue for 10-15 seconds at a time until you can stir the caramel smooth. (You can also use the Caramel Bites, and follow package directions to melt them.)
  5. When the cinnamon rolls are cool, dip them in the caramel, then roll them in the chopped pecans.

I bought the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls at Walmart, along with all of my other supplies, which made it so easy to get everything I needed.  Love that!
