Monkey Bread

"What is monkey bread?" you might ask. Oh...you're in for a treat. Monkey bread is little balls of dough, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and then baked with a caramel sauce so they end up gooey, sticky, delicious little nuggets. It's also really easy to make, and a great crowd pleaser for parties (if quite a mess).

Monkey Bread

1 can refrigerated biscuits

1.5 sticks (3/4 cup) butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (add about 2 tsp cinnamon to 1/4 cup white sugar)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cut biscuit rounds into 6 pieces each and roll into balls in your hands. Toss balls with the cinnamon sugar (I put them in a ziplock bag, and then save the extra cinnamon sugar in it when I'm done).

3. Place the balls across the bottom of a bundt pan or 9x9 pan with pretty deep sides.

4. Melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring until combined. Boil for one minute, then remove from heat and pour sauce over biscuits.

5. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is browned and biscuit dough is cooked. Let cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a plate and serving (it will be tempting to pick at it before it's cooled, but don't do it because the burned mouth and fingers make it harder to enjoy).
