This will be my go-to recipe for overnight rolls from now on! The rolls raised very nicely in the fridge. I let them set out for about 45 min. before baking them. The results were delicious! Thanks!

I have made these so many times I could do it with my eyes close and I have friends all over the country that LOVE these and are constantly asking me when the next batch is going to be sent out to them. EVERYONE loves them!

After buying pecan rolls at the bakery and being totally disapointed I decided to try to make them myself. I picked this recipe and what a HIT they were at Thanksgiving dinner. I had requests to make a double batch for Christmas. Although I didn't double it, they were again a huge sucess! My sister in law in Florida heard about them and wanted the recipe also. I sent it to her and she was amazed at how good they were, everyone raved about hers as well. At first I was a little intimidated by the seemingly large instruction list, but they were very easy to make. The first time I did everything by hand, second time I used a bread machine to make the dough, it worked out better for me that way.Thank you so much for the great recipe.

These were really good and fun to make with my little boys. I shared them with several people and I didn't hear one complaint only sounds of "Oh my gosh these are SO good". Thank for the recipe.

These were very tasty rolls! It was very difficult to wait to bake these, but I was strong! And the family was rewarded! Thanks for posting a great one!
