Last night as I was trying to fall asleep, an image of Caramel Pecan Rolls popped into my head.
There was a period of somewhere around a year when I made these rolls as a special treat for us every Sunday morning.
Then about three years ago, we decided to end the gluttony. We didn't need the sugar-laden calories even though we thoroughly enjoyed the rolls and gobbled a huge amount of them up without any (well, not too much) guilt at all.
This morning when I rolled over in bed and found myself wide awake a bit before 5 o'clock, I took it as a sign. I made a quick stop in the bathroom, got the wood stove in the kitchen going, and started to mix up a batch of Caramel Pecan Rolls.
Here's a picture of the rolls taken right after they came out of the oven and I inverted them onto the plates. You're all invited over to participate in the treat. Coffee, tea, or milk, if you wish, will be provided. (Wouldn't that be just great if that get-together could really happen?)

Oh my gosh! They look delicious! A treat every now and then is a good thing I believe. And besides, running the oven probably helped heat up the house! I would take a half of one with a bit of coffee.

Theresa Y - Sure! I'll even let you get up at 5 a.m. some days to make the rolls! ;o)
Marie - Minnie-soda is one big, long state, isn't it?!
Anonymous - I put the recipe in a blog post . . . Friday, April 5, 2019. Go way down on my right hand side bar until you find the Search box. Enter "caramel rolls" and that post should come up. The first part contains a recipe for Lentil Burgers but down farther in the post is the recipe for the Caramel Pecan Rolls. Enjoy!
I would be much too weak in the face of that lusciousness....
betty - It was a good morning to have the oven going. Our temp was -1° at 5 a.m. Now at 3 p.m. (with bright sun all day) it's way up to +7°! Back in the deep freeze we are again. Sorry, no half rolls served. You must take a whole one. ;o)
Michelle - Good. Then you can have two.
Yum!!
Oooooh, I would throw my gluten intolerance to the winds and join you in a NY minute for one (or three) of those beauties! Heck, I'm only 28 hours away by car - put the kettle on! xo
Jan - They were! :o)
Susan - I have a feeling the (yummy) gluten would do bad things to your system. I know I indulged a wee bit too much and didn't feel so pretty good. And I'm not even gluten intolerant!
Nancy - Thank you, ma'am!
Those were my all time favorites when my baker/teacher was with me. Oh my, Oh my. I even planted an English Walnut tree to have our own nuts. I might be up!
Tim - I hope the thought of them brought sweet memories to you, Tim. I think walnuts have a bit more "good" things in them for us, but we prefer the flavor of pecans in these caramel rolls. Hope your English Walnut tree is prospering!
Yum, yum and YUM!!! You are giving me ideas, Mama Pea!
