Same dough as the cinnamon rolls. That is where the family resemblance ends. Sticky buns hit a little different.

We top them with whatever we are in the mood for. The default, the one people mean, is pecan and caramel. Pecan-laced. Caramel-infused. A delicious bun thing. That is the technical description.

What is the difference between a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun? Toppings, and how sticky you are willing to get. A cinnamon roll wears frosting. A sticky bun is the frosting. Sticky buns are sticky. We checked.

They are a sometimes item. We do not put them out every day. When they show up in the case, they sell out. Every time.
