Ingredients
- 12 white dinner roll dough balls thawed
- 1 1/2 cups pecans chopped, divided
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, divided
- 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Take the frozen dinner rolls out to thaw.
- In a medium-sized bowl add 1 cup of the pecans, egg, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons of the butter, stir to combine.
- Grease an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Once the dough is thawed, lightly dust a clean work surface and roll out or use your hands to form the dough balls into a flat circle about 4 inches wide.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the pecan filling. Gather the dough around the filling and pinch the seams together. Gently roll into a ball and place it into the baking dish seam side down.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling. Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- While the bombs are baking, add the remaining ½ cup of the pecans and the caramel sauce to a small bowl, stir to combine. Let the bombs cool slightly and add the caramel topping to serve.
