I want to do this for a show this weekend, but wanted to know of anyone why made it, how you and your guest liked it??

Are we talking the 'typical' smuckers size for the caramel? Anyone use any other type of caramel?

Caramel Pecan

1/2 stick butter
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
 
I have not tried this yet, but Goodness it sounds GREAT! The Caramel sauce they are asking for is in a jar, the size of a jar of jelly, but found right next to the syrups....could you tell me the rest of the recipe, so I can try it...;) TIA
 
What I have been doing at my shows this month is the pull apart bread with the Sweet Caramel Sprinkles - I have people waiting for them!
 
Kate

Yes! I see your adorable puppy and he is beautiful!

I too have been toying on doing this recipe so when someone does it please share!:p
 
Directions are probably the same as for all the pull aparts - you can search the files for Caramel and find a word document that has several pull apart recipes with one set of instructions for all of them - and that includes the one listed here.
 
Thanks!! Didn't think of that.


Here it is :


Caramel Pecan

1 stick butter
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits



Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in Small Sauté Pan on stovetop, over medium heat—add ingredients, except biscuits, and sauté until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Using Utility Knife, cut biscuits into quarters. Add all the biscuits to the pan, toss with butter mixture, immediately put in oven and bake 18-20 minutes.

It seems that a whole jar of that caramel would be a little much. I will try it though and let ya'll know how it turns out!

Sorry.. I went to dinner for a mom's night out, and looks like this thread was in some serious need of directions.I too am craving this.
I don't have the sprinkles yet myself, and since I wanted to do this for 2 upcoming shows this weekend, I'm curious about the caramel turn out..Please share what happens when you do indeed use a whole bottle!
 
I'm not Kate...but here is a thread I started about making the caramel or cinnamon sprinkle bites! Beating a dead horse? Another update to use saute pan to make cinnamon bites

since your not kate i dont know if i can accept this reply:D

thanks kelly
i remember it being very long and not getting a chance to read it after our conference:cry:
 
DO NOT use a whole jar. It will bubble over and burn on the bottom of your hosts oven. The kitchen will be filled with smoke and the smoke alarms will go off.

Ask me how I know. :balloon:

Just use enough to make sure all the biscuit pieces are coated.

Yeah, Yeah, it was someone I know. Uh ha..that's it! :angel:
 
I made this at one show, and sold 3 saute pans! Everyone loved it, but I only use about 2 tbsp of butter, and enough caramel to put a nice layer on the bottom. I also use the 5 biscuit size of biscuits. Yum!
 
I happened to make the caramel pecan pull apart bread Thursday night (experimenting at home before a Friday demo...thankfully). I followed the above recipe as directed. It was a disaster!!!! What a mess it made of my stove and oven!!!!!!!! And yep, it started smoking. And the pull apart bread itself was mostly just a soggy/soupy blob (few pieces on top could be saved, and they were delicious. heehee). Anyway, just have to agree that the ingredients as listed are WAY to much for the 8" saute pan.
 
Thank God I read this before I tried to make it today. I knew that a whole jar was too much, but I tend to follow directions when making a recipe. I hope someone can come up with an accurate recipe because it sounds delicious!
 
Okay, made these last night and they were pretty good.


I used:

3 Tablespoons of Butter
1/3 cup of caramel
1/3 cup of pecans
1 package of Pillsbury Biscuits

rolled the cut up pieces in the butter/caramel/pecan mixture, and baked about 20 minutes @350.

DH loved it!! I think if I used any more ingredients it would have made a huge mess. A little of the caramel stuck to the pan after I flipped it over, but just used our rubber spoonatula to get it out and spread it on top. It was good.
