How to Make Petite Caramel Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted margarine, and 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Spread the caramel mixture evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9-inch round cake pan.
  4. Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into 4 rectangles. Gently press the perforations to seal.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  6. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over each crescent roll rectangle.
  7. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans over the cinnamon-sugar mixture, dividing evenly among the four rectangles.
  8. Starting from the shorter side, tightly roll up each rectangle. Pinch the edges to seal.
  9. Cut each roll into 4 slices (for a total of 16 rolls).
  10. Place the rolls cut-side down onto the caramel mixture in the prepared pan, arranging them snugly.
  11. Bake for 20-27 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
  12. Let the rolls cool in the pan for 1 minute before carefully inverting them onto a serving platter or foil.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy!
