1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
-
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

FROSTING:
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
-
1/2 cup butter, cubed
-
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft set; set aside.
-
2.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1/2 cup butter, eggs, sugar, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add pudding; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

3.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
4.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into an 18x11-in. rectangle; brush with remaining butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
-
5.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into 16 slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13x9-in. baking dishes. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
-
6.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
-
7.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream and butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Beat in confectioners' sugar with a hand mixer until creamy. Frost warm rolls. Serve warm.
