Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a Bundt pan or tube cake pan and arrange the unbaked rolls inside.
- Sprinkle the cooked-type butterscotch pudding mix and nuts over the rolls.
- Melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar.
- Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture over the rolls.
- Set the pan in a cold oven and let it sit overnight to rise.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- Let the rolls set for 5 minutes after baking, then turn out onto a serving plate.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the brown sugar and butter mixture. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can simply omit the nuts or substitute with pumpkin seeds for added crunch. Ensure the rolls are spaced evenly in the pan for uniform baking. If you have leftover butterscotch pudding, you can use it in desserts like Marshmallow Peanut Butter Fudge.
Serving Suggestions
These butterscotch rolls are delightful served warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They also pair beautifully with coffee or tea for a sweet breakfast treat. For a complete meal, serve alongside a fresh fruit salad or even a savory dish like Stuffing(For 11 To 12 Pound Turkey) for a unique brunch experience.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled butterscotch rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm the rolls in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warm.
