Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Melt butter in a 9 x 5 x 3-inch pan.

- Bake for 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider toasting the nuts before adding them to the butter and brown sugar mixture. You can substitute the cloverleaf dough with biscuit dough or even crescent roll dough for a different texture. If you prefer a sweeter version, add a touch of maple syrup to the melted butter.
Serving Suggestions
Nut Stickies are delightful on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert. For a savory balance, serve them alongside a light salad, like Pear Cheese Salad, to complement their sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Nut Stickies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warm. This helps retain their gooey texture and flavor.
