Monkey Bread

“When my boys hear Im planning to make Monkey Bread, theyre eager to help, says Carol Allen of McLeansboro, Illinois. Brady is the official shaker. He coats the biscuits after Mom has cut them into pieces. Jerod arranges the coated biscuits in the pan, then its ready to go into the oven. Both boys really enjoy helping me make Monkey Bread, and it seems to taste twice as good when theyve helped fix it, Carol assures. Its one of our favorites for breakfast or as a snack.”

This was a fun Sunday morning breakfast. I only had instant butterscotch pudding so that's what I used. This was my first Monkey Bread, so I don't know what kind of difference the cook and serve pudding makes--gooeyier, perhaps? Well, these were nice and sticky and everyone loved them. I did run out of the dry mixture with a few biscuit pieces left, so next time I'm either adding more sugar or I'll go easier on that step. I also think that on my next batch I might just use one or two rolls of biscuits and, instead of using a bundt pan, use a muffin pan. Will definitely make again!

My mom made this recipe and it was delicious! The only difference is she used 12 yeast rolls instead of biscuits. You can get them frozen and just thaw them beforehand.

The flavor was great! Very similar to what I remember as a kid. My stepdaughter thought they were excellent. My problem was that although I did spray the pan, they still stuck. Next time I might try adding some melted butter to the biscuits in the pan before baking. Thanks for a very flavorful recipe.

My family loves this bread. I usually run out of the dry ingredients so I double everything. I use vanilla pudding, walnuts, and this recipe is great with Honey Butter biscuts.

I thought it was okay. My husband complained about the dough that was used. He'd like me to make the dough as well. Not happening!

Everyone loved this. I think shaking saves time if you choose a big enough container, so I appreciated that idea. These are more gooey than other recipes I have tried, and that's why they're so good!

This recipe has become a Christmas morning tradition in my house. My 4 sons really look forward to it. It is so easy and absolutely delicious. Instead of shaking, I just dip the dough pieces into the butter and then dip them into the dry mix. I personally find that easier and quicker than shaking. Delicious! Will make again and again!

This is a great one, it is hard to find the cook and serve pudding but worth the hunt.

This was my first time making monkey bread. This recipe was GREAT! My family loved it. The only thing I changed, was that I used vanilla pudding, because I didn't have any butterscotch.
