Ingredients
Instructions
- Place frozen rolls in a greased 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Sprinkle dry pudding, brown sugar, margarine, and chopped pecans on top of the rolls.
- Put the pan in a cold oven and leave overnight to allow the rolls to rise.
- In the morning, do not preheat the oven; set it at 350°F and bake for 20 minutes.
- Turn the rolls out onto a foil-lined cookie sheet.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the frozen rolls are evenly spaced in the pan to allow for uniform rising. You can substitute regular pudding mix with a sugar-free version if desired, though the texture may vary slightly. For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the brown sugar mixture. These rolls can also be topped with a Rich Chocolate Glaze for an indulgent twist.
Serving Suggestions
These pecan rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch and pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Serve them alongside a fruit salad or a light yogurt parfait for a balanced meal. They also make a delightful addition to holiday gatherings or potlucks, complementing dishes like Cobbler(Peach, Cherry, Apple).
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pecan rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare these rolls the night before and let them rise overnight in the oven. This method allows for a convenient breakfast option in the morning. Just remember to set the oven to 350°F without preheating before baking.
What can I use instead of margarine?
You can substitute the margarine with unsalted butter for a richer flavor. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, consider using coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative. Both will work well in this recipe.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and have risen nicely. You can also check by inserting a toothpick into the center of a roll; if it comes out clean, they are ready to be turned out onto the cookie sheet.
