Directions:
Make your own dough or buy prepared loaves in the frozen food section. If frozen, put loaves in the refrigerator to thaw for 4 or more hours. Tear off pieces of the thawed dough from both loaves and form into walnut-sized balls. Drop the balls in melted butter, roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture and place them into an ungreased bundt pan. Let the mixture raise until the balls are one inch from the top of the pan. Pour light Karo on top of the balls and bake 35-45 minutes in a 350º oven. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
