Ingredients for Overnight Butterscotch Monkey Bread

• Rhodes Frozen Dinner Rolls--Number of frozen rolls depends on the size of your bundt pan. Mine holds about 16.
• Cook & Serve Butterscotch Pudding Mix--Only use the Cook and Serve type found on the baking aisle of the grocery store. Do NOT use instant pudding.
• ½ cup of Dark Brown Sugar--substitute white sugar, if needed
• Butter--salted or unsalted

How to Make Easy Monkey Bread

Christmas Eve, or the night before baking this delicious treat, coat a bundt cake pan with baking spray. (I avoid using regular non-stick cooking spray in my bundt pan so it doesn't get sticky.)

Fill the prepared pan half-full with frozen bread rolls. Mine holds 16. Yours may hold more if it is larger.

In a small bowl, mix dry pudding mix and brown sugar. Sprinkle the butterscotch pudding mix and brown sugar over the frozen bread dough.

Dice a quarter cup butter. Place over the rolls.

Cover with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator to rise overnight.

The next morning, take rolls out of the refrigerator. If the Monkey Bread has not risen to the top of your bundt pan, allow it to set out at room temperature until the dough rises to the top of your pan. (Disclaimer--I let mine rise too big while I went out and did chores... Ooops! They still tasted delicious!)

Unwrap and bake in a 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the baked Monkey Bread to rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes for you don't lose all the delicious caramel sauce. Then turn out on a serving plate or cake stand.

Tips for Overnight Monkey Bread

Use a Bundt pan for a pretty presentation. However, a 9x13 pan will work if needed.

Place a cookie sheet under the pan when baking to catch any runoff and prevent a mess in your stove.

How to Serve Monkey Bread

I like to serve my overnight guests this gooey monkey bread fresh from the oven. However, it is best to allow the caramel glaze to set up a bit before turning it out.

And serving it on cake stands make it look as important as it is.

I like to serve with hot coffee or cold milk.

Storage

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap and keep on countertop where people will walk by and pull a piece off until it's all gone. It will last for 3-5 days.
