- Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9-inch round pan.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the sugar mixture.
- Take the can of Pillsbury soft breadsticks and separate into 8 coils without unrolling.
- In a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon.
- Dip one cut side of each coil into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Arrange the coated side down over the pecans in the pan.
- Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over the buns.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then cool for 1 minute.
- Invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the sticky buns.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the margarine with unsalted butter. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or slivered almonds work well too. To save time, prepare the sugar mixture ahead and store it in an airtight container. Be sure to coat the breadstick coils evenly for the best caramelization during baking.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky buns are best served warm, drizzled with a bit of extra melted margarine for added richness. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of Hawaiian Punch Punch. For a complete brunch, serve alongside a light Broccoli Slaw Salad for a nice balance of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. This will help restore their softness and gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of breadstick?
Yes, you can use any refrigerated breadsticks, like pizza dough or crescent rolls, as substitutes. Just ensure they are similar in size and texture to maintain the overall cooking time and result.
How do I make these sticky buns vegan?
To make these sticky buns vegan, substitute the margarine with a plant-based butter and use a vegan-friendly sugar. Ensure your breadsticks are also vegan, as some brands may contain dairy.
What if I don't have corn syrup?
If you don't have corn syrup, you can use honey or maple syrup as a substitute. Keep in mind that this may alter the final flavor slightly, but it will still result in delicious sticky buns.
