Serves: 8
Total Calories: 321

Ingredients

TWISTS
1/2 cup chopped pecan
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted

GLAZE
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon imitation maple flavoring
2 to 3 teaspoons milk

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 1 large or 2 small cookie sheets. In small bowl, combine pecans, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg mix well. Separate dough into 8 rectangles firmly press perforations to seal. Brush each rectangle with margarine. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar-nut mixture evenly over each rectangle, pressing in lightly. Starting at longer side, roll up each rectangle, pinching edges to seal. With sharp knife, cut 1 roll in half lengthwise, forming 2 strips. With cut side up, carefully overlap strips 2 times to form twist. Press ends together to seal. Place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle with any remaining sugar-nut mixture.

Bake at 375°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. In small bowl, blend all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm.
