Cut rolls into quarters. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Dip rolls into this mixture and arrange in Bundt pan sprayed
with non-stick spray. Pour remaining mixture over rolls.
For make-ahead rolls, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pan at this
time.
When you're ready to prepare your rolls, loosen the plastic wrap and let rolls rise at room temperature
until they double in size or reach the top of the pan.

Drizzle with syrup and powdered sugar. Slice and serve with additional
syrup.
