Overnight Butterscotch Pecan Rolls

Overnight Butterscotch Rolls. Holiday Brunch is Served.

Overnight Butterscotch Pecan RollsI’ll be frank with you guys: this recipe is not fancy, it’s not trendy, and it’s not 100% from scratch. But my mom has been making these sticky rolls for Christmas morning every year since I was a tiny kid, and my family cannot get enough of them. Now that I split my time between Seattle and Austin during the holidays, I make a batch of rolls for all my Austin peeps when I stay in Texas for Christmas, and they are unanimously loved here as well.

What I’m trying to say is that these butterscotch rolls are basically infallible. Bring them to your holiday brunch this year and they WILL be devoured. It doesn’t matter that the secret ingredients are pudding mix and melted butter. Sshhhh. Just trust me (and my mom) on this one.
