Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange the frozen dinner rolls evenly in a bundt pan.
- Pour melted margarine over the arranged rolls.

- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. If you want a twist, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted margarine. You can substitute the chopped nuts with chocolate chips or dried fruit for a different texture and sweetness. Ensure the rolls are evenly spaced in the bundt pan to promote even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the caramel roll ring warm, drizzled with additional melted chocolate or caramel sauce for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat. Consider serving it alongside fresh fruit or a light yogurt to balance the sweetness and richness of the roll.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover caramel roll ring in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate it for up to a week, but the texture may change. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through, maintaining its gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh dinner rolls instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh dinner rolls, but you may need to adjust the baking time. Fresh rolls will require less time in the oven, so keep an eye on them after about 20 minutes to ensure they don't overbake and become too dry.
What can I substitute for brown sugar?
If you don't have brown sugar, you can make your own by combining white sugar with molasses. For every cup of white sugar, add 1 tablespoon of molasses for light brown sugar or 2 tablespoons for dark brown sugar. Alternatively, you can use coconut sugar for a similar flavor profile.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls and assemble them in the bundt pan the night before. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. In the morning, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure they rise properly.
