Cooking Tips

• Make sure the milk is warm, but not too hot, to activate the yeast properly.
• You can customize the filling by adding raisins, chopped apples, or other nuts.
• If you prefer a thicker caramel sauce, cook it for a few minutes longer before pouring it into the crock pot.

Storage and Serving

• These sticky buns are best served warm and fresh.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, microwave individual buns for a few seconds or warm them in a low oven.
• Serve with a drizzle of additional caramel sauce and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for extra indulgence.
