Ingredients

24 frozen dinner roll dough, thawed, divided
0.5 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 (4.6 ounce) package cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
2 tablespoons milk
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Arrange 12 dinner rolls evenly in the prepared dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar, pudding mix, milk, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour this luscious brown sugar mixture over the rolls, then top with the remaining 12 rolls. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for approximately 3 hours, allowing them to become light and fluffy.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to ensure the rolls bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through, typically 30 to 35 minutes. Let them cool for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the caramel to set slightly.
