Place frozen rolls in greased tube pan.  Sprinkle dry pudding mix over the rolls.  Cook butter sugar and cinnamon over low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture bubbles—do not over cook.  Pour over the rolls and dry pudding.  Cover tightly with foil and let stand on the counter overnight.  Next morning, bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Let stand 5 minutes, then invert carefully onto a large serving plate.  [Bake on a cookie sheet to catch drips]
