These Pecan Sticky Buns are over-the-top. They are made with Rhodes frozen cinnamon rolls and are drenched in a super easy brown sugar caramel sauce and pecans.
Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
Sprinkle the pecans on the bottom of the dish. Place the frozen dough in 4 rows of 3 rolls each. Sprinkle the pudding mixture evenly over the dough. Set aside.
