Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 18 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

2 tubes (10 ounces each) refrigerated biscuits
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon each ground cloves, nutmeg and allspice
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Roll each biscuit into a 3-1/2-in. to 4-in. circle. Cut cream cheese into 20 equal cubes; place one cube in the center of each biscuit. Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice; sprinkle 1/2 teaspoonful over each biscuit. Set remaining sugar mixture aside. Moisten edges of dough with water; fold over cheese and press edges with a fork to seal.
Pour 2 tablespoons butter each into two 9-in. round baking pans; sprinkle 1 tablespoon of reserved sugar mixture into each. Dip one side of each biscuit remaining butter. Arrange in pans, forming a pinwheel pattern, with butter side up. Sprinkle pecans and remaining sugar mixture on top. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
