Monkey Bread - November BGEX Gift

I did not get a chance to take a picture of the Monkey Bread before I sent it to Sarah, so I have borrowed the picture from her kitchen -- after her sister grabbed the first bite! Jared's mom makes this recipe often, and before meeting Jared, I had never heard of it before. If you have not tried Monkey Bread yet, you are missing out!

Ingredients:
3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes
1 cup sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions:
1) Take 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes (10 per roll) and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Drop roll pieces into 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Drop sugar-coated pieces into a well buttered Bundt pan (don't squish roll pieces when placing them in the Bundt pan).

2) Put 1/2 cup of the left-over sugar/cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) into a small saucepan.

3) Bring this mixture just to a boil; remove from heat immediately. Carefully drizzle over the roll pieces.

4) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

5) Cool slightly in an upright position, then tip pan over onto a plate to remove from pan.

Husband & Wife Rating:
Although Jared and I did not get to sample our own Monkey
Bread, Jared walked into the house as it was cooling and was practically drooling over the smell. It looked so fresh and fluffy...and ready to eat! We can only judge the smell -- A+

We'll make this again...very soon.
