"From an old newspaper clipping -- Because of the brewed coffee and only 1/2 cup brown sugar, these cinnamon buns are not overly sweet! Great for a special breakfast, especially at Christmas or other holidays. Can be prepared the night before so the bread dough thaws and rises til double, then bake the next morning -- NOTE: prep/bake time DOES NOT include time for dough to thaw and rise before baking!"

I made them for brunch X-mas morning and they were very good. I may have squeezed more buns in the pan than I should have but the taste was still there and they were goooey,yumm,yumm

I think I used the wrong size pudding packet by mistake, so mine was not very gooey, but the whole family loved it! Yeah!
