Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a Bundt or similar cake pan well. Place the frozen rolls inside.
- Sprinkle the dry pudding mix over the top of the rolls.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and nuts over the pudding mix.
- In a saucepan, mix brown sugar and oleo (butter) and bring to a boil.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Spread the cooled mixture over the rolls in the pan.
- Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- The gooey topping settles through the rolls as they rise during baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can substitute with chocolate chips or dried fruits. Be sure to grease the pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. To enhance the butterscotch flavor, adding a pinch of sea salt can elevate the overall taste.
Serving Suggestions
These Butterscotch Goodies are best served warm, drizzled with a little extra melted butter or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They make a delightful breakfast treat or dessert. For a complete meal, pair them with a cup of coffee or the *Hot Chocolate Drink to warm up on chilly days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh rolls instead of frozen for this recipe?
Using fresh rolls is not recommended as they require a different baking time and may not absorb the butterscotch mixture properly. Frozen rolls allow for the perfect rise and texture needed for this recipe.
How can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare the rolls and toppings the night before, cover them, and refrigerate. Just make sure to bring them to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking and proper rising.
What can I substitute for butterscotch pudding mix?
If you don't have butterscotch pudding mix, you can use vanilla pudding mix with a bit of added brown sugar and a splash of vanilla extract for similar flavor. This will still give you that sweet, creamy texture without losing the essence of the dish.
