Amazing Sticky Buns
What’s In A Name?
These tasty little vittles are known by many names; Butterscotch Rolls, Overnight Caramel Rolls, Butterscotch Bubble Bread, Overnight Sweet Rolls, Butterscotch Pull Aparts, and Monkey Bread. Whatever the name the recipe is generally the same and the tasty is always amazing. I don’t think there is a wrong way to name them, but I do highly recommend that you make them and eat them!
Easy Sticky Bun Ingredients
Just six ingredients in these fabulous buns! No one can resist these delicate rolls covered in a sticky sweet nutty sauce, they are so amazing. You and your loved ones are going to love them.
- Chopped Pecans: These are optional, but I love the crunch they add.
- Frozen Rolls: I used Rhodes Rolls, but if you have a favorite brand of frozen rolls, they’ll work just fine.
- Cook and Serve Butterscotch pudding: This has to be Cook and Serve Pudding, NOT INSTANT 3.5 oz box, small.
- Cinnamon: Adds a bit of spice.
- Brown Sugar: Together with the butter and pudding creates a magical sauce.
- Butter:Â Unsalted or salted works.
Making Homemade Sticky Bun Magic
They are super easy and quick to throw together too! Using frozen dough is the big secret. This makes it so effortless. You are going to love everything about these.
- Place: In a well greased bundt pan place the chopped nuts, if using. Then evenly distribute 20 frozen rolls.
- Sprinkle: Pour the pudding mix powder over the rolls. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Melt:Â In a microwave bowl melt the butter and mix in the brown sugar. Drizzle over the rolls.
- Cover:Â Cover and let raise in a cool place overnight.
- Bake:Â In the morning bake at 350 degrees for 25 min. Let cool in the pan for 5 min then turn out onto a plate or platter and serve.
Tips and Variations
- Nuts: Using pecans is optional, but if you like crunch use them, you can substitute walnuts for the pecans too.
- Browning vs Burning:Â These need the full 25 min to make sure all the rolls get done. You do not want undone rolls. Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top after the first 10 min of cooking. This will prevent the tops from burning but allow the bottom to cook long enough.
- Dripping:Â If you’re worried about caramel dripping over the sides, place the bundt pan on a cookie sheet to cook.
- Pan:Â This recipe can be made in a 9×13 pan if you don’t have a bundt pan. Grease a 9×13 and place the nuts. Place the rolls in single file on top. Pour the pudding, cinnamon and the butter mixture on top and raise. Cook at 350 for 25 min.
- Storing: These will keep covered tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days. Rewarm in the microwave, I do not recommend freezing.

Sticky Buns
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional
- 20 frozen Rhodes Rolls
- 1 3.5 ounce package Regular Butterscotch pudding has to be cook and serve (Not Instant)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
- Grease a bundt pan. Add chopped nuts if using. Place the 20 rhodes rolls in pan.
- Sprinkle ½ package Jello Butterscotch cook and serve on top. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top.
- Melt the butter and mix with the brown sugar. Drizzle over rolls.
- Cover with a damp cloth and raise overnight. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Cook for about 10 minutes and then cover with aluminum foil. The top browns fast! The aluminum foil will help them to cook throughout and not brown the top quite as fast. But cook for the whole time or else the rolls on the bottom will be doughy!

I purchased Rhodes soft white rolls that are partially baked and in the frozen food section, I hope they turn out.
I should have bought unbaked frozen rolls I guess.
Do they taste like butter scotch from pudding flavoring? Not sure butter scotch will be a fam favorite any options?
They do have a slight butterscotch flavor. You could use any flavor of pudding if you want to swap that out!
I can’t find the butterscotch. Is there a substitute ??
You could use caramel instead!
How much butter and brown sugar do you use.w
1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup of sugar! You can scroll to the bottom of the post and all of the ingredients and measurements!
Do still raise overnight when using a 9×13 pan.
Yes!
Anxious to try this recipe – I’m ready and then I realize you didn’t mention what size of pudding package….
Thank you for letting me know. It is 3.5 ounce. I just added it to the recipe card for reference.
I made these for Christmas morning. Everyone loved them. So simple and yet tasted delicious. I added more cinnamon as it is a favorite flavor of ours. They are all gone now, and my husband has requested more. YUMMY!
Do we make the pudding up as directed on package or sprinkle the dry pudding on top
You will just sprinkle half of it on top! Enjoy! XOXO
