This vintage delight combines the cozy warmth of cinnamon rolls with the rich, nutty crunch of pecans, all wrapped in a gooey caramel embrace (we recommend perhaps a little more caramel than the recipe calls for!).
This recipe is perfect for a neighborly coffee break or a sweet start to your morning — bringing the nostalgic charm of the past right to your kitchen table.
