Mini Caramel Pecan Rolls

Ok, you are all going to start thinking that I am seriously addicted to crescent rolls. I made these this morning for breakfast. Super easy and tasty!

Mini Caramel Pecan Rolls

1 tube crescent rolls
1/2 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
cinnamon
sugar
chopped pecans

Mix butter, brown sugar, and syrup. Spread in the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9 inch cake pan. Unroll crescent rolls and leave in 4 rectangles. Press along seam to seal. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, and pecans. Roll up and press along edge to hold roll together. Cut each roll into 4 pieces and place in cake pan, leaving a little room around each roll for them to bake up. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and invert cake pan onto a plate. If the caramel hardens on the plate, simply throw it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it.

Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels

I have a little appetizer recipe book, and this is one of those recipes that is always a hit. I did fix it up a little to suit my tastes, but no one ever complains!

Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels

1 10 oz can chicken
2-3 teaspoons of hot sauce
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 tube crescent rolls

Heat oven to 375. Mix chicken and hot sauce in a bowl. Unroll crescent rolls and leave in 4 rectangles. Pinch along seams to seal. Spread 1 oz of cream cheese on each rectangle. Sprinkle evenly with chives. Divide chicken mixture and spread out. Roll up and press on the seam a little to keep the roll together. Cut each roll into 6 pieces. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
