- Arrange the coils, sugared side down, over the pecans in the pan.
- Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over the top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a delicious twist, try using honey instead of corn syrup for added flavor. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans or walnuts. You can also replace the margarine with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Ensure the dough is cold before handling to prevent sticking, and don't skip the cooling step after baking to help the rolls set.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch, served warm with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a delightful dessert, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of Basic Red Barbecue Sauce for an unexpected twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sticky rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat the rolls in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sticky rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sticky rolls the night before. Assemble them in the pan, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This will ensure they rise properly and bake evenly.
What can I substitute for the Pillsbury refrigerated soft breadsticks?
If you don't have Pillsbury breadsticks, you can use crescent roll dough or even homemade dough. Just roll out the dough into strips and cut them into coils. Keep in mind that baking times may vary slightly depending on the dough used.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are deep golden brown on top, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to avoid over-browning. If they brown too quickly, you can cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.
