Breakfast Bread

This is from the Southern Living Christmas Book. They call it "orange bread" but I don't think it is very orangy, and sometimes I use lemon instead. I am killing two birds with one stone by posting here, because I am going to use this recipe while we're in Oklahoma.

3/4 c sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 T grated orange rind
2 11oz. cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 3oz. package cream cheese cut into 20 tiny little squares
1/2 c butter, melted
1 c powdered sugar
2 T orange juice

Combine first 3 ingredients and set aside. Separate each biscuit into 2 halves. Place a cream cheese square between halves, press edges to seal. Dip each biscuit in melted butter and dredge in the reserved sugar mixture. Stand each biscuit on end in a lightly greased bundt pan, spacing evenly. Drizzle with remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until golden. Invert onto a wire rack. Whisk together powdered sugar and juice, drizzle over the warm bread. YUM.
