Pecan Crescent Twists

Ingredients

• 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted and divided
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup or milk

Preparation

1. Unroll crescent rolls, and separate each can into 2 rectangles, pressing perforations to seal. Brush evenly with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
2. Stir together chopped pecans and next 3 ingredients; sprinkle 3 tablespoons pecan mixture onto each rectangle, pressing in gently.
3. Roll up, starting at one long side, and twist. Cut 6 shallow 1/2-inch-long diagonal slits in each roll.
4. Shape rolls into rings, pressing ends together; place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush rings evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
5. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until rings are golden.
6. Stir together powdered sugar and maple syrup until glaze is smooth; drizzle over warm rings. Cut rings in half, and serve.
