My family and friends adore spicy food, however I have a lot of favorite chicken salad dishes. When that happens, this Mexican chicken salad is ideal. On a busy night after work, serve it as an entree or as a side dish at barbecues.

When I was a kid, my childhood best friend, Amy’s mom would make this. I’ve been trying to find the recipe for years.
I gave this five stars because this recipe was so easy and tasty. I used a Bundt pan. I used chopped walnuts and I used the vanilla pudding mix. I also added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in with butter and brown sugar mixture. I will definitely make again.
I didn’t have pecans so used walnuts; just added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the brown sugar mix. Definitely use foil or parchment lined cookie sheet to put the bundt pan on! I put in the oven with nothing over it and turned on oven the next morning when we were ready to eat! Great!!!
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butterscotch Pudding Butter Parker House Frozen Rolls Pour melted butter over frozen rolls in bundt pan, sprinkle with brown sugar, butterscotch pudding and lots of cinnamon, let rise overnight. Bake in morning
the recipe didn’t look right. I was very wrong, this was a hit!
Love this recipe, make mine in a bundt pan. So simple and delicious.
I make these for friends and neighbors at Christmastime! Everyone raves over them!
Good and easy to make. The directions leave out that you should invert the finished product on a tray so that the pecans will be on top and the sugar melts down the sides. Do not skip this step!
Wonderful recipe! Make sure you ‘pop’ the biscuits in the morning before you bake. I did mine in a bundt pan and it came out beautifully.
I’ve made this recipe plenty of times exactly as written (with the INSTANT pudding not cook and serve.) For a crowd, it’s an instant hit and easy to do since you prep the night before. I’ve also started adapting it into smaller portions, using only 4-5 rolls in a small foil pan, for single/for two servings. That has worked well, too. SO EASY TO MAKE and has turned out well every time.
We had a very busy day scheduled at work, beginning at 6 a.m. so I made these to share with our team. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using 20 rolls (five rows of four) just to satisfy my sense of order. I put the 9 x 13 dish on a foil-lined cookie sheet to catch any overflow and threw it in the oven while I showered and dressed for work then flipped them out onto the cookie sheet when they were done and off to work I went. They smelled amazing, everyone raved about them, and we all got to have one or more as we could to keep us going on a very busy morning. I didn’t have a chance to grab one until about 9 a.m. and, even cold, they were moist and sweet and gave me a pick-me-up that was sorely needed. I’ll definitely make them again. No, these aren’t healthy and yes, they are very sweet but they’re perfect for an occasional morning treat. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
DO NOT USE INSTANT!! Recipe says cook and serve and that’s what you need to use! Love this…Christmas morning tradition for lots of years!!!
A pretty good recipe, albeit a little dry. I tossed the cubed biscuit dough in cinnamon sugar first, then layered it in the bundt pan and topped with butterscotch, brown sugar, and butter. This is a nice change from the usual recipe but I prefer it a little more gooey. Maybe next time I will drizzle melted butter on the dough before topping with the pudding/sugar/butter by itself.
I used frozen dinner rolls that are already baked and then you heat them and eat them. The recipes should be idiot proof for people like me.
No changes and will definitely make again.
This was fabulous, I made them for work and they were a BIT HIT!They were so easy, I tweeked it a bit, I sliced a 1/4 cup of butter thin and placed it in the bottom of the pan prior to putting the rolls and pecans down, made them more gooey, also added a pinch of salt, need salt to balance all the sugar and then just a splash of vanilla extract. I inverted the pan when they were down to serve. They were GREAT!
This is very similar to a recipe I have made for years. I use 24 frozen rolls that have been thawed in the refrigerator. Cut into halves and roll into balls. I layered 1 to 2 cups of pecan pieces in a greased 13X9 pan. I then mix 1 c brown sugar, 1 stick of butter, 1 tbsp. of milk and 1 tbsp. of cinnamon and either 1 large or 2 small boxes of vanilla cook and serve pudding. Heat over medium heat until blended. Pour over bread pieces and refrigerate 4 to 8 hours. Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes. Be sure to invert pan onto a foil covered cookie sheet so all topping will cover the rolls. Scrape out any that is left and put it on the rolls. Excellent. People go crazy for these. They are great and easy to make.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I do have a question — do you leave this sitting out, or do you refrigerate it overnite? I remember my mom making something similar to this, and it was delicious
I’ve been making this recipe for 20 years. I’ve always used a bunt pan and pecans with the instant pudding mix. One time I was out of butterscotch and used vanilla and it worked as well. We call this recipe “Walton’s Mountain coffee cake”. My children and grandchildren look forward to this every Christmas. It was given to me by a dear golfing buddy from Florida. Debbie
These are the best rolls ever and everyone loves them! The aroma filling the house when baking these is just amazing! They are great for overnight guests, church pot lucks and family reunions. Be careful though, if you have them once everyone will want them again! Just make sure your rolls are fresh, not freezer burned and never thawed and re-frozen. Sugar free pudding mix doesn’t work either. I tried it to cut some calories for some diabetic people at church but they didn’t taste good at all. Just make these for your next party and you’ll be loved by all!
Delicious!
