Sticky buns

I got this from my friend Nickie. I think I will make it our new traditional birthday breakfast treat. Yum-my.

1 pkg frozen rolls (about 20-24)
1 small pkg butterscotch pudding (non-instant)
1 c nuts, chopped
1 c brown sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
6 T butter, melted

Put chopped nuts in bottom of a large greased bunt pan. Put frozen rolls on top of nuts. Mix pudding, cinnamon, and brown sugar and sprinkle on top of rolls. Drizzle butter over all. Cover with towel and leave overnight. Bake in the morning at 350 for 30-40 minutes, covering with foil after 20). Release immediately from pan.


A few thoughts of mine: 1) I used some rolls that I made and froze and it still worked great. I also used instant vanilla pudding because I didn't have any other on hand and it still was yummy, though the butterscotch might give it a more caramel taste. Also, I forgot to tip the pan over immediately and it pretty much stuck in the pan. Be sure to get them out quick!

Super yummy, super fast, and do easy to just pop in the oven in the morning. Give it a try!
