Easy Caramel Sticky Buns

My middle daughter got to have her sleepover this past weekend, after we had to cancel it last weekend due to my kidney stone drama.  My daughter was a little upset with me when I sat out carrots and celery sticks with dip, instead of potato chips.  (However, the girls ate an entire bowl of carrot sticks!)  So, I figured I would redeem myself by serving these the next morning...

They look pretty impressive right?!

Oh.so.easy!  I bought the reduced-fat cinnamon buns and then sorta followed these directions from Pillsbury. I say sort of, b/c I emailed the recipe to myself, it went to my spam folder so I couldn't find it, so then I had to do it from memory b/c I was too lazy to look it up again.  I got the butter and brown sugar quantities right, but not the corn syrup.  Oh well, they didn't need all that corn syrup anyway!  I used 2 t. instead of 2 T.  They still tasted completely fattening yummers.  They were super sweet, buttery and delicious.  Thank goodness they were divided among 5 people.  I also had mandarin oranges to go with it, so I could feel like I was at least giving them a little something healthy to go along with their sugar buzz.  I'm sure their parents were wondering why they couldn't sit still during church.  oopsies.
