    Heat oven to 350°F. In medium microwavable bowl, mix brown sugar and 1/4 cup softened butter. Microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir.

    Bake 24 to 29 minutes or until golden brown and biscuits are fully baked. Let stand 2 minutes. Place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Let pan remain on top of biscuits 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over biscuits; remove pan. Replace any remaining pecan or caramel mixture, if necessary. Serve warm.
