When we go to the bakeries the first thing that usually gets chosen is caramel rolls. There is something about the sweet sticky goodness that just draws us in and we can never get out of that addiction.

Excellent. I eliminated Salt but added 1/cup chopped Walnuts to the carmel sauce. Buttermilk instead of whole milk. My kind of carmel rolls.
Buppie
They came out great but cutting the salt in the caramel 2tablespoons is too much for me and my BP!

Mmm what a nice variation to the cinnamon roll, without the icing. Salt and caramel are such a nice combination I may have to give this recipe a go!

I love caramel rolls. Since our local bakery went out of business and they made the most amazing caramel rolls I’ve had to resort to making my own. Love these so much.
