For an extra layer of flavor and texture, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the rolls before baking. To ensure even baking, rotate the baking dish halfway through the baking time. If you don't have time for a long rise, you can speed up the process by placing the rolls in a warm oven (turned off) with a pan of hot water.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Arrange 12 of the thawed dinner rolls evenly in the prepared dish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla pudding mix, milk, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and the sugar is fully dissolved. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
3 hrs
Pour the luscious caramel sauce evenly over the rolls in the baking dish. Top with the remaining 12 dinner rolls, nestling them gently into the sauce. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04
Step
35 mins
Allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for approximately 3 hours, or until they have nearly doubled in size. This rising time is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture. (Rise time: 3 hours)
05
Step
15 mins
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)
06
StepBake the caramel rolls in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center of a roll should come out clean. (Bake time: 30-35 minutes)
07
StepRemove the baked caramel rolls from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows the caramel sauce to thicken slightly and makes the rolls easier to handle. (Cool time: 15 minutes)
