Ingredients

Scale

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons corn syrup or honey
2 tablespoons melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons melted butter (for drizzle)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for drizzle)

In a bowl, mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until combined.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pecan filling onto the wider end of each triangle.
