Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with oil.
- Put broken nuts on the bottom of the pan.
- Arrange the frozen buns on top of the nuts.
- Mix together the butterscotch pudding, brown sugar, and white sugar; spread this mixture on top of the rolls.
- Melt the margarine and pour it over the top.
- Cover the pan with Saran Wrap and let it set on the countertop for 8 hours or overnight.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using toasted pecans or walnuts. If butterscotch pudding is unavailable, vanilla pudding works as a great substitute. Ensure the buns are entirely frozen before layering; this helps them hold their shape during the baking process. If you prefer a less sweet roll, you can reduce the sugar by half without compromising texture.
Serving Suggestions
These Sticky Nut Rolls are best served warm and can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They also make a delicious brunch option alongside fresh fruit or a light salad. For a fun twist, serve them with a side of maple syrup for drizzling, enhancing their sweetness and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Sticky Nut Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds if you're in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh buns instead of frozen?
Using fresh buns is not recommended, as frozen buns help create the desired texture and allow for proper rising during the resting period. The freezing process ensures that the rolls maintain their shape while absorbing the flavors from the pudding and sugar mixture.
What can I do if I forget to let the rolls set overnight?
If you're short on time, allowing the rolls to set for at least 2-3 hours at room temperature will still yield good results. Just make sure the rolls have enough time to absorb the pudding mixture before baking for the best flavor.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare everything in advance and keep the assembled dish in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to let it come to room temperature before placing it in the oven to ensure even cooking.
