GIGI'S STICKY BUNS

Every now and then we need to splurge on the calorie count, and honestly, these Sticky Buns are worth every calorie. These are amazing! They are super easy to prepare and my Mom makes them for every holiday. Elijah looks forward to these Sticky Buns so much that every time he sees my Mom she makes them just for him. This is an overnight recipe, so make sure you prepare these the night before.

...ingredients...

2 loaves of frozen bread dough (thawed) or 24 Rhoads dinner rolls (They come in a bag of 36) NOTE: Look for the Rhoads package, then you do not have to roll your dough because they are already round rolls

1 box of 6 oz vanilla pudding (NOT instant)

1/2 cup melted butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons of milk

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

1 cup of walnuts, pecans and or raisins ( I use more than 1 cup of raisins only)

...directions...

1. Grease a 9 x 13 pan well with Pam

2. Sprinkle nuts and/or raisins in the bottom of the pan

3. Pull dough apart and roll into walnut sized balls or just use frozen dinner rolls

4. Make a layer of balls in pan on top of nuts and raisins

5. Don't prepare the pudding, just use the mix that comes in the box and take the vanilla pudding and sprinkle it over the dough balls

6. Heat remaining ingredients and mix well

7. Pour the mixture over the dough balls evenly

8. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and store over night in the fridge

9. Preheat oven to 350. Take foil off and bake for 30 minutes

10. Flip pan onto tray that has been sprayed with Pam.

11. Makes 24 buns
