Instructions

Thoroughly grease a 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray or butter so nothing sticks.
Open the package and place 24 of the frozen rolls in the pan evenly (space them a bit so they have room to expand).
In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (one stick) of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup brown sugar, a 3oz packet of vanilla pudding, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and1 tsp of vanilla. Gently stir until smooth. Note: if you want to add chopped pecans, stir them into the sauce as well.
Drizzle caramel mixture evenly over the frozen rolls. Spray the underside of plastic wrap, then add the wrap over top of the pan.
I leave my rolls on the counter and let them rise overnight. You can also store them in the refrigerator overnight if you prefer.
When you’re ready, preheat oven to 350°F and remove plastic wrap. If you refrigerated rolls, set them on counter and let them come to room temperature while oven heats up. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Let the rolls rest 2-3 minutes after baking. Since the caramel sauce will have dripped down the the bottom of the baking dish, you will need to "flip" the rolls right side up to serve. To serve rolls one at a time, simply use a large spoon or spatula to scoop a roll out and gently flip it onto plate. Spoon some additional sauce from pan over top.
To serve all 24 rolls at once, lay a large serving tray upside down over baking dish, then flip the pan and tray to invert the pan over a platter. Most of the caramel syrup will come with is, but use spatula to scrape anything left behind, and drizzle over the rolls on tray. Serve warm.
