Ingredients

2 cups raw whole pecans
24 frozen unbaked dinner rolls
1 3.5 oz. box butterscotch pudding mix
2-3 tablespoons ground cinnamon or enough to cover rolls
½ cup butter
¾ cup light brown sugar

Instructions

Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Spread pecans across the entire bottom of the baking dish.
Place frozen dinner rolls on top of the pecans. It usually works best to line the rolls side-by-side along the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle the dinner rolls with the butterscotch pudding mix, followed by an ample sprinkling of ground cinnamon. Set dish aside.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar, stirring frequently to keep from burning. Continue cooking until the mixture turns light amber and smells like caramel sauce.
Spoon the mixture over the rolls.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray to keep the dough from sticking to the plastic. Place the baking dish on the counter and allow the dough to rise overnight.
The next morning, heat oven to 350°F (176°C). Remove plastic wrap from the top of the baking dish and place the dish into the pre-heated and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until tops are golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
Serve the rolls by placing either a serving platter or cookie sheet across the top of the baking dish. Flip the baking dish over to release the rolls onto the platter/cookie sheet.
