Tips & Substitutions

They also make a great dessert option, especially when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.

To store leftovers, place the sticky buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through and the sticky sauce becomes gooey again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh rolls instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh rolls, but you may need to adjust the rising time. Fresh rolls will not require as long to rise and may bake faster, so keep an eye on them in the oven.
What can I use instead of butterscotch pudding mix?
You can substitute with vanilla pudding mix for a milder flavor, or chocolate pudding mix for a richer taste. Just be aware that this may change the overall flavor profile of the sticky buns.
Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
Absolutely! You can assemble the sticky buns the night before and let them rise in the refrigerator. Just remember to take them out to warm up before baking to ensure they rise properly.
