Easy Orange Pull-Apart Rolls

 

4 oz. Butter

3/4 cup Sugar

1 tsp freshly grated Orange Rind 

1 tsp. FRESH orange juice 

3 cans of Pillsbury Buttermilk Rolls (7.5 oz.)

Melt butter with the sugar, and add orange juice. 

Put the rolls in an ungreased bundt pan standing on their side

Pour orange mixture over the rolls.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 - 45 min., until the tops look golden brown.

After baking place a plate on top of the bundt pan and flip it over so that the rolls come out of the pan.  (Be careful as  it is easy to get burned with hot buttery liquid.)

3/4 cup cocoa powder

1 pinch salt
