Ingredients
Instructions
- Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- Arrange the frozen Rhodes dinner rolls around the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the top of the rolls with pudding mix and chopped nuts.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the rolls to your taste.
- Melt butter and brown sugar together and drizzle over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise overnight.
- In the morning, bake the rolls in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla pudding mix instead of butterscotch. If you want a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or pecans. You can also experiment by adding dried fruits or chocolate chips for extra sweetness. To ensure even rising, place the rolls in a warm area while they rest overnight.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast rolls are delicious on their own, but they pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a light yogurt parfait. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup or alongside scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast. If you’re hosting brunch, consider serving them with Dillie'S Dip Pudding for a delightful sweet and savory combination.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover 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 (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This will help restore their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare these rolls in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls the night before and let them rise in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature. Just be sure to take them out in the morning and allow them to come to room temperature before baking.
What can I substitute for walnuts or pecans?
If you have nut allergies or prefer not to use nuts, you can substitute them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or simply omit them altogether for a nut-free version.
Can I use fresh rolls instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh dinner rolls, but you may need to adjust the rising time as they will not require as long to proof. Just ensure they're slightly undercooked before baking.
