- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup brown sugar light or dark, packed
- 4 tablespoons light corn syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls
Instructions
- Bloggers and creators, please be a good human and don't copy my recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Cut an 'X' in the top of each roll, cutting almost to the bottom of the roll.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until the butter has melted. Bring to a boil to ensure all of the sugar has dissolved. Stir constantly. After the mixture reaches a boil. Turn it off, stir until it stops bubbling. Pour the mixture into the bottom of your prepared dish. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the caramel mixture.
- Place the Hawaiian sweet rolls top side down in the caramel.
- Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until brown. Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes. Time it because you do not want to wait much longer than 5 minutes.
- Place a large serving platter over the baking dish and invert the rolls out onto the platter. Be cautious, the caramel is still very hot.
- Spoon any remaining caramel and pecans that are left in the pan over the rolls and into the places that you cut in the rolls. You want that caramel to seep down into the rolls.
- Serve warm.
- Wrap any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. They'll stay fresh for 3 days in the fridge.
Thank you for sharing. Although I am a diabetic, I will make this try it because it looks soooo delicious and share it🥺🥺
I am planning to make this recipe. Can I mix everything together, refrigerate overnight, and bake in the am?
Yes, you can.
I like it….I like it alot!
These are sensational! Since there are only two of us, I just used four rolls in a small Corning pan. Made the whole recipe of caramel sauce and then saved the rest of the sauce for the next time. They are really rich so I am going to try using a mini loaf pan and two rolls next time. Easy and super, thanks for the recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoy it. These Hawaiian Roll creations have been fun to make and share.
These sound extra yummy. I think I’ll try these for Thanksgiving. I’m sure they’ll be a hit!
Paula, you may want to check the spelling on your printable recipe. It calls for “1 cup brown sugar light or dar, packed”, rather than “dark”.
oh, thank you! I’ll correct that
I made these for Thanksgiving! I loved them but some parts were chewy.
