Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Pecans, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.33 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch round baking dish or cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and pour it into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (softened), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and cinnamon to form a paste.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to create a single rectangular sheet of dough.
Spread the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using) evenly across the dough.
Starting at one of the longer edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place the slices, spiral side up, into the prepared pan, leaving some space between them for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and bubbly.
While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Invert them onto a serving plate so the gooey bottom becomes the top.
Drizzle the glaze over the buns and serve warm. Enjoy!
