This recipe is a big treat, and I often make it at our lake house when we takes guests there. Use the maximum amount of brown sugar listed and all of the pudding package for a sweeter dish. The corn syrup makes it gooey! Make sure you plan ahead - this recipe needs to sit overnight.

YUMMY! I cut the rolls into fourths and rolled them in vanilla cook and serve pudding powder. I also used 1/2 butterscotch and 1/2 vanilla pudding. After dissolving the brown sugar in the butter I added the pudding mixture to it. No gritty crunch from the sugar. Everything melted and blended together beautifully. So good!

This was pretty good. I halved the recipe and baked it in a loaf pan. When making this recipe I would put some of the pecans on the bottom of the pan before putting in the frozen rolls.

A new family favorite. Make sure to use a Bundt pan (not a tube pan with removable bottom). Learned this the hard way... thank goodness for self-cleaning ovens! If you don't have the cook 'n serve pudding you can use instant but mix it in with the butter/brown sugar mix. Found the instant didn't "dissolve" if just sprinkled over. Thanks for this great recipe.

We call this recipe "Butterscotch Bubble Loaf" but "Amazing Monkey Bread" works as well. Vanilla pudding works good as a substitute but I like it best with butterscotch pudding.

I left out the corn syrup and it was still delicious. It does rise quite a bit so I would recommend placing foil over the top then a cookie sheet and something heavy to keep it all in. Make sure you let it set after removing from the oven to let all the juices cool to a syrup and soak into the bread.
