Sweet Rolls

Sweet Rolls (this is sort of like Monkey Bread)

Ingredients:

2 packages of refrigerator biscuits (the pop biscuits in a tube)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup chopped nuts
Cinnamon and sugar

Directions:

In a mixing bowl you will want to mix the nuts with the brown sugar and set aside. After dipping the biscuits in the melted butter, you will want to drop each biscuit in the brown sugar/nut mix. Coating each side with the brown sugar and nuts. Place the biscuits in a bread pan that will fit inside your crock pot. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and a small amount of sugar between each layer of biscuits.

Before placing the bread pan in the crockpot, you will want to make a foil circle (take some aluminum foil and scrunch it up into a long crumpled piece, make a ring with the foil and put the foil in the bottom of the crock pot...then put the bread pan on top of the foil. Take 3 or 4 pieces of paper towel and place across the top of the crock pot and put lid on crockpot to hold the paper towel in place.

Cook on HIGH 3 - 4 hours...leave alone until the end of the cooking time.

The reason for the foil (and this was a new tip for me) is that it keeps the cake pan/bread pan, etc. from touching the bottom of the crockpot which helps everything cook more evenly...

The reason for the paper towels (another new tip) is that crock pot's have condensation when they cook...you don't want that condensation to get on the cake, etc. because it will get soggy (which has happened to me before)...so the paper towel soaks up the condensation, and keeps it from dripping down on your cake, etc.

Enjoy and Happy Slow Cooking...Hugs...
