What makes Hawaiian rolls sweet?
The secret ingredient in fluffy, sweet Hawaiian rolls is pineapple juice! Hawaiian sweet rolls make a delicious French toast, sandwiches and can be used in other meals.

One package of 12 King’s Hawaiian Rolls – or you could use a generic version
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar
One teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/3 cup of heavy cream
Three tablespoons of maple syrup or honey
1/2 cup of chopped pecans
Glaze
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
One tablespoon of milk
Optional ingredients: if you want to make these even more decadent, add nuts like pistachios or walnuts. You could add cream cheese or a caramel sauce instead of the glaze.

Small bowl for mixing up the glaze.
Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. mix butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup in a saucepan over low heat. When the butter melts, the mixture should turn into a sauce. Add the pecan pieces at the end and mix.

4. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. While the sticky buns are in the oven, prepare your glaze by mixing milk and powdered sugar in a small bowl.
