Instructions
- Cut the Rhodes dinner rolls into fourths.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla or chocolate pudding instead of butter pecan or butterscotch. You can also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture. If you're short on time, let the rolls rise for a shorter period, but overnight rising enhances the flavor and texture. Make sure to grease the tube pan well to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these easy pudding rolls warm, drizzled with a bit of extra melted butter for indulgence. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside breakfast dishes or as a sweet accompaniment to brunch, similar to the way you might enjoy Megan'S Purple Ribbon Gingersnaps.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pudding rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warm. This helps restore their softness and flavor.
