Sticky Buns

[goodgiver]

Hope this is the right place for this post. Does anyone know how to achive the sticky stuff of the top of sticky buns. I mix butter and brown sugar but all it did was to sit on top and get grainy. This is not what I wanted. It was not sticky. I love sticky stuff. Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Hiya! Try adding a few teaspoons of corn syrup to the sugar/butter mix.
Hope this helps!

I use a caramel when I make mine:

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons light corn syrup
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons chopped pecans--optional

Combine first 3 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat; stir frequently until butter melts. Continue cooking until mixture thickens and becomes smooth (about 1 minute), stirring constantly. Pour into the center of a 9-inch square baking pan and quickly spread caramel over pan bottom only using a spatula coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with pecans if you want
