Directions

  1. Spray 4 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, mix brown sugar and butter; microwave uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until mixture is boiling and smooth.

  3. Add a few of the biscuit pieces at a time to bag; shake to coat.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the pecans in slow cooker; top with half of the biscuit mixture.

  6. Pour remaining butter mixture over biscuits, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup pecans.
