Years ago we started making Christmas Eve Shortcut Buns. We make them on Christmas Eve just before we leave for our big family party. It is one of those recipes that the girls who were very young at the time were able to help with (and still do!).

In the morning, I heat the oven up after I get my cup of coffee before the girls start unwrapping and it is usually out of the oven before they finish. I always make this in a Bundt pan and dump it over onto our glass cake plate.
They are sticky and sweet and we LOVE them!
Christmas Eve Shortcut Buns
by Leanne Ely
20 unbaked frozen dinner rolls (Rhodes or Bridgeport are brands I have used)
1 cup brown sugar (3/4 cup is not SO sweet)
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar (3/4 cup is not SO sweet)
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, melted
Lightly grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan. Place frozen rolls into the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, the pudding mix and cinnamon. Pour melted butter over the top. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin, but they turn out better in a bundt pan.
Cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave overnight at room temperature to rise.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Turn rolls out onto a serving plate and dig in!
If you have not done all your shopping yet - give these a try!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
