Bacon and Caramel Glazed Sticky Buns

Brunch just got a whole lot better thanks to these Bacon and Caramel Glazed Sticky Buns. Besides tasting great, they can be ready in just an hour.

Do you love sticky buns? I sure do. When I was expecting my son there was a little restaurant that was a town favorite. They sold what most people there called cinnamon rolls. However, they didn’t have the icing on top. They just had the most delicious gooey caramel, melty brown sugar and nuts encrusted on top. To me, that is more of a sticky bun than a cinnamon roll. But whatever you call them, they are amazing. On top of being amazing, they were gigantic too. We would pick them up all the time & I swear they are the reason my son now loves cinnamon more than anything else. I guess that’s what happens when you live off of something like that when you are expecting. You become obsessed with foods like this Bacon Caramel Sticky Buns Recipe.
