Meanwhile prepare Honey Nut Topping.", "Combine all topping ingredients except 1/2 cup chopped nuts in saucepan. Bring to boil and cook, stirring constantly, until a little syrup dropped in cold water forms a soft ball (234u00b0F.), about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour into greased 13x9x2-inch pan.** Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped nuts.", "Toss dough on well-floured board until coated with flour and no longer sticky. Roll out to 24x8-inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup chopped nuts. Roll as for jelly roll, starting with 24-inch side. Cut or ""tie off"" with strong thread into twelve 2-inch slices. (To tie off slices, place thread under roll and pull ends around, crossing as if to tie in knot.) Place cut-side down over topping.
