1. Cut the thawed dough into 12 pieces. Place each piece in a greased muffin tin. Brush tops with melted butter and let rise in warm place until dough rises 1/2 inch above the muffin tins (2 to 2 1/2 hours).

3. Combine sugar, water and rum, in a small saucepan; place over medium heat and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
