I hope everyone of you are enjoying this holiday season and will continue to have an amazing rest of this year. Yes I said rest of this year…2018 is almost over too!! Wow..just wow!

Today’s recipe is a really good one and it says that it tastes like pecan pie but I don’t think so. It tastes more like a cross between the Pecan Sandies and Pecan Caramel Rolls. Either way the are still so good. Hope you enjoy them!!
