Caramel Bubble Ring

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Generously grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan. Sprinkle half of the pecans in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside. In a small bowl stir together sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Separate each package of breadstick dough on the perforated lines into 6 spiral pieces, making 12 pieces total. Do not unroll. Cut the pieces in half crosswise. Dip each piece of dough into melted butter; roll in sugar mixture to coat. Arrange dough pieces in the prepared pan.

Sprinkle with remaining pecans. In a measuring cup stir together caramel topping and maple-flavored syrup; drizzle over dough pieces in pan.

Bake in preheated oven about 35 minutes or until dough is light brown, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning.

Let stand for 1 minute only. (If it stands for more than 1 minute, the ring will be difficult to remove from pan.) Invert onto a serving platter. Spoon any topping and nuts remaining in the pan onto rolls. Serve warm. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
