Sticky Buns

Approx. 30 mins.

My version of the ever so popular pull-apart sweet treat!  I came across a few different recipes online and decided to create my own...so simple and BIG hit with my family!

Ingredients:

Bread

2 cans Pilsbury Grands! biscuits (I used Homestyle - Honey Butter)

1 8oz. package of cream cheese

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

2 tbsp melted margarine/butter (I only had margarine on hand - worked great!)

Icing

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish (I used glass) with cooking spray.

In a gallon size storage bag (i.e. Ziploc/Hefty), combine the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon...shake to make sure it's all mixed well.

Open the package of the cream cheese and cut into 32 bite-size pieces...they don't have to be exact, as long as you have 32!  Because the biscuits will begin to rise as soon as they "pop" out of the can, open them one at a time.  Cut each biscuit in half and flatten out using your fingers.  Place one piece of cream cheese in the middle of the flattened biscuit, fold the sides up, roll into a ball and set aside.  Continue for each biscuit until you have 32 balls (both cans) completed.

Place 4 dough balls (more than 4 and they tend to stick together) in the storage bag, and shake until each one is thouroughly covered in the sugar mixture, then arrange closely in the baking dish.  Continue until all 32 dough balls are complete and in the baking dish.  Pour the melted margarine/butter over the buns, and sprinkle with 1-2 tbsp of the cinnamon sugar mixture (from the bag).

Bake for approx. 30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.

While sticky buns are baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside.  Once the buns are done and fresh out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the top.

FYI:  Center of buns will be extremely HOT, so do allow time for them to cool slightly...I know they look & smell tempting, but do you really want to risk burning your tongue for sweet gooey goodness?!?!
