Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Marshmallow Creme, confectioners sugar, vanilla, and butter flavoring.
- Knead until all sugar is thoroughly blended and shape into 8 rolls.
- Wrap each roll in plastic and freeze.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother blend, ensure that your Marshmallow Creme is at room temperature before mixing. If you want to add a twist, consider using maple extract instead of butter flavoring for a unique flavor. Chopped walnuts can be a great substitute for pecans if desired. Make sure to adjust the sugar based on your preference for sweetness, as the caramel can also add sweetness to the rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These pecan rolls make a delightful treat for brunch or dessert. Serve them with a drizzle of warm caramel sauce for an indulgent touch, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. They also complement a cup of coffee or tea beautifully. For a more festive presentation, consider dusting them with powdered sugar before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Once the rolls are frozen, you can store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag to prevent freezer burn. They can last in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw the rolls at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing to serve. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as it may change the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls in advance?
Absolutely! These pecan rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. They are perfect for preparing in bulk and can be enjoyed whenever you have a craving for something sweet.
What can I use instead of pecans?
If you prefer a different nut, walnuts or almonds work well as substitutes in this recipe. You can also omit the nuts altogether for a nut-free version. Just be sure to adjust the flavorings if you're using a nut with a stronger taste.
How do I know when the rolls are ready to serve?
The rolls should be firm but not frozen solid when you’re ready to serve them. Thaw them at room temperature until they are soft enough to slice easily. You can also serve them straight from the freezer for a chewy treat if you enjoy a firmer texture.
