I decided to make the buns in two batches. first batch: I used the butter and sugar in the recipe, too buttery and sticky. not a fan of too much butter, but they are better when cooled. the second batch I used less butter/sugar in the pan and less butter in the puff pastry. also used less cinnamon. delicious. I give it a 5 star.

Turned out awesome! I used walnuts instead of pecans and cut the cinnamon back to 2tsp. Didn't burn and they were a little butterery but I like that!

O.K., the negative reviews on these were correct, but one has to find out for ones self, right? They were far too sweet and way too buttery for my taste even though I cut back on the butter by 2 TBSP. They were saturated to the point of sickeningly sweet and gooey. However, since I have never had a sticky bun before, this could be the cadillac of sticky buns for all I know! I have a feeling that I am more of a Cinnabon type of girl so I plan to try the "Clone of Cinnabon" recipe on Allrecipes to see if I like that better. Has anyone tried it? It got 5 stars and a total of 4,845 reviews so I am hoping I have better luck with that one! But I love Ina and most of her recipes, this one was just not for me!

P.S. Hubby gave it 3 stars...

Far to much butter. So much so, you couldn't taste anything else because of the grease. Also, puff pastry didn't rise - threw them out. Plan to try again with less butter and allowing the puff pastry to get to room temp before working. I like the basis for the recipe, though.

I'm rating this 5 stars because my 3 yr old just made these mostly by himself, ok not by himself but enough by himself that he is so proud of his cinnamon rolls, that he was able to make breakfast for me and Daddy. We haven't tasted them yet, I see other people's comments about too much butter, I didn't use as much butter but will modify this recipe as much as I have to in order for little man to be able to make cinnamon rolls for the family. We didn't use the electric mixer, I just had him stir the butter and sugar together, and we have a manual chopper he was able to chop the nuts up by himself, then roll out the dough and add the topping. I did the cutting of course, then he placed them in the muffin tin. He is so happy to help in the kitchen! Thank you Ina for a kid friendly recipe!

I don't bake. I am trying to learn to bake and do better but I often burn things or recipes don't turn out right. However, I am a great cook. Anyway, I made these since they seemed easy enough for someone who uses box cake mix all the time. I wish I had realized that the amount of butter in these is overkill. It bubbled out of my muffin tin onto the bottom of my oven and made a smokey mess. The buns themselves came out good but not great. The brown sugar created a toffee like coating on the top and the nuts were nice and toasted. I recomend putting a pan in the bottom of your oven to catch the drips and mess that this will create. Now, I have to figure out how to get burned sugar off the bottom of my oven.

Very tasty, but very greasy and I did not use all the butter! I would cut back more on the butter and try again.

I love Ina Garten but I'm sorry, this recipe is no good. It came out hardened on the bottom(or top, however you look at it and pretty much just tasting like butter. I feel like I wasted $ on puff pastry/pecans and spent 10 minutes digging these sticky buns out of the muffin tin :(

OMG - AMAZING! I realized (too late that I could not find my 12 slot cupcake pans (I still can't find them! - I used my mini-pans and made 48 mini's - perfect for a girl's coffee treat - I also used the "baking raisins" which have an extra soft texture - PERFECT - Thanks Ina:
