Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Pecans, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 0.33 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch round baking dish or cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and pour it into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (softened), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and cinnamon to form a paste.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to create a single rectangular sheet of dough.

Step 5

Spread the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using) evenly across the dough.

Step 7

Starting at one of the longer edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

Place the slices, spiral side up, into the prepared pan, leaving some space between them for expansion.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and bubbly.

Step 10

While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Invert them onto a serving plate so the gooey bottom becomes the top.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the buns and serve warm. Enjoy!
