Easy Caramel Nut Raisin Sticky Buns

I love brunch. Those special weekend breakfasts that prompt my kids to declare I’m the best mom ever. I enjoy taking a lazy Saturday morning and filling it with something special to eat for my family. When I discovered the entire brunch section as part of the Kraft Tastemaker blogging program, I was thrilled. So many delicious looking options to try out for my family. Homemade biscuits and caramel rolls are my favorite!

How to Make Easy Sticky Buns

These sticky buns also stood out for me.  I noticed that this sticky bun recipe uses actual caramel instead of a mixture of brown sugar and butter. Imagine how good that tastes? It really had my tastes bud begging me to try it.

If you are every looking for a delicious caramel sauce, it is much easier than you think.

Melt some caramels and milk in the microwave and in no time you will have this:

I did learn that it is important to stick with a 8 inch round pan versus a 9 inch. I have both but opted for the 9 inch because I liked it more. Don’t do that. Stick with 8 inches. (More on that later.)

This recipe requires a bit of rolling and cutting, but it really doesn’t take long at all. After pinching the seams and adding my filling, I simply rolled each long rectangle up the short way. Then I cut it in half, then cut those in half again.

And viola!

They baked up beautifully!

Sticky Bun Tip:

Do be sure to flip the pan over immediately after it comes out of the oven so you don’t loose any of the caramel on your sticky bun. Because my biscuits didn’t fully cover all areas of the pan due to the larger size, some of my caramel baked too long. I also waited about 30 seconds to flip it so I could get a few pictures.

Everything tastes absolutely fabulous. I did lose out on some of my caramel and nuts on the bottom of the pan. Learn from my mistake so you can enjoy all the gooey deliciousness this recipe offers.

I served these sticky buns with some delicious scrambled eggs, and I was given two enthusiastic thumbs up for breakfast from my 7 year old. I can’t blame him. I just wish I had made two pans!
