What You Need

3/4

cup PLANTERS Chopped Pecans

1/2

cup (1 stick) butter, divided

1/3

cup maple-flavored or pancake syrup

1/2

cup sugar

tsp. ground cinnamon

cans (12 oz. each) refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits

pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cut into 20 cubes

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

SPRINKLE nuts onto bottom of 12-cup fluted pan or 10-inch tube pan sprayed with cooking spray. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in small microwaveable bowl. Stir in syrup; drizzle over nuts in pan.

MELT remaining butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon in shallow dish. Separate dough into 20 biscuits; flatten each to 1/4-inch thickness. Roll cream cheese cubes in cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated; place 1 in center of each biscuit. Gather up sides of dough to enclose filling; press edges together to seal. Roll each into ball; dip top in remaining butter, then in cinnamon sugar. Arrange half the balls, cinnamon sugar-sides up, in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining balls to form second layer. Top with any remaining butter and cinnamon sugar.

BAKE 30 min. or until golden brown. Cool 1 min. in pan; invert onto serving plate. Remove pan. Top buns with any remaining nuts in pan; cool slightly.

Memo to "A cook on 2/26/2007" Perhaps you should cook the buns 10-15 minutes longer. I did and receive rave reviews every time I make them. My husband requests them like he's at the bakery!

I made this twice; and both times had to remove the top layer of buns to put the bottom layer back into the oven - they were raw. I read dozens of comments raving about this recipe. I loved it, ecxept for the raw dough!! Is it because I live in CO?

Surprisingly good sticky bun for an easy recipe. Better than many yeast-based sticky buns.

This fantastic recipe is as easy as it is delicious! I have made it twice to rave reviews both times. I couldn't believe how simple and yummy it was! It is so fast to prepare, and the added plus is the fact it uses ingredients the we all have on hand in our pantry and fridge. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! You guys are the best of the best! keep up the good work!

Next time, I'll skip the cream cheese. I normally love cream cheese, but it didn't melt and we all ended up just picking it out and throwing it away--besides, it's just more calories. Otherwise, the flavor was great! I used "grands" size rolls.

This recipe is a nice twist to Monkey Bread. With the cream cheese filling - it is a favorite with our family, not only for breakfast, but for a snack when company comes over.
