Once again, I searched Zaar prior to posting my own tried and true version of caramel rolls. And, once again, here is the recipe I have used for about 15 years. I use loaves of frozen bread dough cut into small pieces, but I believe the original recipe stated to cut frozen dinner rolls in half. I also don't bother with preparing the syrup. I sprinkle the pudding mix, and crumble the brown sugar over the pieces of dough and then pour the melted butter over everything. It works wonderfully. I usually prepare the pull-aparts at night, allow them to rise overnight, and then pop into the oven when I get up. Yummy and easy!! This is a very good caramel sauce. Some friends who have always made their from scratch caramel rolls now use this sauce over their yeast rolls.

I made a crescent/brioche type dough in the bread machine and put it in the fridge overnight and made these rolls the next morning with about 2/3 of the dough recipe (halfway up the bundt pan.) I rolled the balls roughly the size of a quarter. I don't think I'd have them much bigger as there would be too much plain dough-to-caramel ratio. :) The dough I used is a bit richer than frozen bread dough but the best part of this recipe is the ease. Nothing difficult about it and it would be great for company. I would guess you could use different kinds of pudding-- ie vanilla or cheesecake, etc and get some interesting results as well. I chose this variation of the recipe because the others have you starting with frozen dough and I knew mine would simply be refrigerated. It's a great option to have instead of buying dough or freezing your own. Almost any bread dough will benefit from an overnight rest in the fridge anyhow, to develop a depth of flavor. Try it! :) Just make sure the butter mixture is not too hot when you pour it on the non-frozen dough.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
