These were really good, this was my first time ever making them and I will def. do it again!! They were super easy to make too...i did a few mods, I'm a big fan of nuts so i doubled the pecans and also added walnuts...yum yum, also used pumpkin pie spice instead of allspice n cloves, they are really sweet though so watch out! But worth it!

I followed this recipe exactly as written and it turned out excellent the first time! I used a mortar and pestal to ground 5 whole cloves and then further ground the brown sugar,cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg ingredients with it. Don't worry if the size doesn't double when you let it rise in the oven- mine didn't, but when I baked them, they doubled. Everyone will want this recipe!

These sticky buns are outstanding!!!! I was initially hesitant about the use of frozen bread dough, but with the other ingredients, the buns did not have a bread-like taste...sweet sticky bun taste permeated throughout! Instead of Jack Daniels, which I did have, I used butterscotch schnapps..whee doggie! I doubled the filling recipe, using cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and about 1/4 c. toasted chopped pecans; no allspice or cloves (the pumpkin pie spice has the perfect ratio of these two potentially overwhelming spices. I simply can't wait until my husband comes home to give these a taste...I'll take the leftovers to work and instruct my friends to microwave them for about 20 seconds. I just hope there is something to share tomorrow.

Although I altered the recipe slightly, they sure turned out fabuluous. For mixture in bottom of pan I used 1/4 cup of Caro syrup in place of honey, in place of 1/4 cup Caro Syrup, and in place of the Tennessee whiskey, I used 1/4 cup Drambuie (A Scotland made Liqueur crafted with aged malt whiskies, spiced honey, and a recipe kept secret since 1745. In the beginning, I roasted 1 cup coarsely crushed pecans, using 2/3 cup for the mixture in bottom of pan and 1/3 cup mixed in with cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and brown sugar filling.
In the filling, I also substituted soft butter, and just buttered the dough, rather than brushed with melted butter. I used 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, with only a dash of nutmeg and a dash allspice and left out the cloves altogether.
The only downfall I could see a person not liking is that the mixture gets like a crackling pecan candy when hardens, didnt bother me, and a few seconds in the microwave cures this easily. May have to change the name to Scottish Spiked Pecan Sticky Buns, as Drambiue is a Scottish liquour and I am a full blooded Scot, as well. Try this version and let me know what you think. And thanks to Emeril for a solid recipe to alter and make my own.

I've taken these to many functions and they've always been a hit. I've also used Amaretto instead of JD which makes the caramel a bit sweeter. Coffee liqueur would also be a nice substitution. I always cut the needed cloves in half. Excellent recipe!

Yum and easy! I doubled the amount of pecans (love pecans and they were fabulous. I paired this with his Crawfish Quiche and Bloody Mary's for a southern style brunch. Total hit!
