Maple Pulled Pork Buns image

Maple syrup is my sweet secret to these irresistible buns. Slow-cooking the flavor-packed pork couldn't be easier, and the buns are quick to roll up. We love them for parties because they serve a packed house. -Rashanda Cobbins, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less maple syrup next time.
