Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor twist, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the rolls before baking. If you don't have butterscotch pudding, vanilla pudding can be a suitable substitute. Make sure the rolls are completely thawed before cutting to ensure even baking. Additionally, you can use a mix of white and brown sugar for a more complex sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these gooey rolls warm, drizzled with Oostdyk'S Hot Fudge Sauce for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful breakfast or brunch option, enjoy them alongside Pork Chops Or Chicken for a savory-sweet contrast.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls and place them in the pan the night before. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The next morning, allow them to rise for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure they are fluffy and delicious.
What can I use if I don't have butterscotch pudding?
If you don't have butterscotch pudding, vanilla pudding is a great alternative that will still give you a rich flavor. You could also use a homemade custard if preferred, though that will require more preparation.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and spring back when lightly pressed. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the rolls are ready. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on them towards the end!
