Repeat procedure with remaining biscuit pieces. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Drizzle with pecan syrup.

Yield: 1 Dozen*You can use standard-size paper muffin liners. Place 4 coated biscuit pieces in each greased paper liner.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 mintues. Yield: 15 servings.~
I only used the 12 oz can of biscuits, for me and my kids. The leftovers don't taste as great re-heated. Also, my kids don't like pecans, so I left them out of the "syrup" and sprinkled them over a few servings for myself. I kept the "syrup" warm and drizzled a bit more over the bites before serving.


~WARNING: These could be addicting :)
