These are a decadent morning treat. However, I would probably skip the caramel topping next time. It's just a little too much over the top sweetness for me. I suppose I prefer a non-sticky cinnamon bun.

We didn't have light corn syrup, and our lousy A&P didn't have any, apparently. Turns out water and (more!!) sugar is a fine substitute. Also, the price of pecans was outrageous, so we used walnuts instead.

I made Seth take half of the buns to work because it would be dangerous to leave me at home with so much delicious bread. The rest will come with us on our mid-week vacation to Atlantic City! How delightful.

I liked this recipe very much. There are two things I would change next time I make it: Use less sugar in the sauce (it was a tad too sweet for me), and brown the meatballs before adding them to the sauce (I like the texture of a browned meatball). Overall a tasty winner!
