Monkey Bread (Yes, you read that right) :)

In honor of all our children who like to climb like little monkeys (see post from last week), I thought I'd share the recipe for Monkey Bread. If you've never had it, then you don't know what you're missing! It's delicious--sweet and gooey. And it's easy. In fact, kids can help! My friend's son is the official Monkey Bread maker in their house and has done so since he was elementary age.

A big thank you to my friend, Kelly, who knew this off the top of her head when I texted her at work yesterday. Yes, this recipe is that important. ;) (Or course, she admitted she just made it this past weekend.) :)

 Monkey Bread

4 tubes of canned biscuits
1-1/2 sticks of margarine (Missy uses butter)
1-2/3 cups sugar (divided)
2 Tbs cinnamon (divided)
Chopped pecans--optional

Melt the margarine/butter. Add 1 cup sugar and 1 Tbs. cinnamon.

Combine 2/3 cup sugar and 1 Tbs. cinnamon in a bowl or ziplock baggie.

Cut 2 cans of biscuits into quarters and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture (or shake in the baggie). Drop the quarters into a greased Bundt pan. After 2 cans of biscuits, pour half the melted butter mixture over them. (Optional: sprinkle with pecans.) Then do the other 2 cans. Once all biscuits are in the pan, pour the rest of the butter mixture over them. (and sprinkle with more pecans if using)

Bake 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then put a plate on top of the pan and flip over. Hopefully, it'll release cleanly!

This stuff is amazing for breakfast or dessert! It also makes a great baked gift. Have you had it before?
