Overnight Caramel Pecan Rolls
<< All Articles
These sweet, toffee-like rolls are so easy, and will impress your whole family. All the prep work is done the night before, then you just pop it into the oven in the morning, and you have a perfect breakfast for a special occasion. Serve alongside bacon or sausages to round out your breakfast. These would also be a wonderful neighbor gift!

Pour 1 cup pecans into a 9” nonstick round baking pan, and spread out evenly. If your pan isn’t nonstick, spray with nonstick spray.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Heat until sugar is dissolved.

Pour the syrup over the pecans, and spread evenly. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Place 12 frozen yeast rolls evenly in the pan.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Let sit overnight (at least 8 hours) on the counter to rise.

These rolls have thawed and risen beautifully. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.

The tops are golden brown, and the syrup is bubbling. They are perfect!

Invert the rolls: place a plate on top of the rolls, and flip both dishes over so the pan is now upside down on top of the plate.

Remove the baking pan, and marvel at the beauty!
