    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 8
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    ¾ c. plus 2 tbsp. Hy-Vee granulated sugar
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee ground nutmeg
    ½ c. Hy-Vee salted butter
    ½ c. Hy-Vee brown sugar, packed
    2 (12.4-oz. each) cans Hy-Vee refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
    ½ c. Hy-Vee chopped pecans, plus additional for garnish
    Hy-Vee caramel-flavored syrup

    Things To Grab

    • Charcoal or gas grill
    • Heavy aluminum foil
    • Hy-Vee nonstick cooking spray
    • Small bowl
    • Small microwave-safe bowl

    Directions

    1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (350 degrees). Cut a 24x18-inch sheet of heavy foil. Fold 1 inch up on each edge; spray foil with nonstick spray and set aside.

    2. Combine sugar and ground nutmeg in a small bowl; set aside. Microwave butter and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until melted, whisking halfway through. Remove rolls from cans; do not separate into rolls. Set icing packets aside. Cut dough logs into 1-inch pieces. 

    3. Dip pieces, one at a time, into butter mixture; shake of excess. Coat with sugar-nutmeg mixture. Place coated cinnamon roll pieces in center of prepared foil in a single layer; top with pecans. Pour remaining butter mixture over cinnamon roll pieces. Fold up long sides, leaving a 4-inch opening on top; double-fold short sides to close sides. 

    4. Grill packet 25 to 30 minutes or until cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Cool slightly; drizzle with reserved icing packets. Garnish with caramel syrup and additional chopped pecans, if desired.
