Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 Tablespoon grated orange rind

Preparation:
Combine sugar, pecans, and orange rind in a small bowl; set aside.
Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits; gently separate individual biscuits in half. Place a cream cheese square between the two halves, and pinch sides to seal each back together. Dip in butter, and dredge in reserved sugar mixture. Stand biscuits on edge in a lightly greased 12-cup bundt pan, spacing evenly. Drizzle with remaining butter, and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes or until golden. Immediately invert onto a serving plate.
Combine powdered sugar and orange juice; stir well. Drizzle over warm bread. Serve immediately.
