great recipe! i had the same problem several years ago with the burn issue...the gooey syrup stuff came oozing out and fell on my foot! that makes for a really bad burn...i second the notion that you should NEVER EVER use a tube pan for this recipe..only a Bundt.

I scaled this way down because it was just for me and my two toddlers (who are 1 and 2 years old). They don't eat much so I just used one 7.5 oz can of biscuits. The glaze turned out weird for me, for some reason I couldn't get the brown sugar and butter to mix correctly. I've done it before for other recipes so I'm sure it's just something I did wrong. It still tasted good though. I cooked it in a pie pan. I left out the nuts because they're still a choking hazard around here, particularly for my one year old who doesn't have enough teeth to chew them properly, and I didn't have any raisins on hand, so those were out. The kids really liked it and so did I! I liked it a little too much and gave myself a little bit of a tummy ache. I will make this again!

This was really good and really easy. I ended up making it in two nine inch cake pans because I was giving one away. Just took about 7 minutes off the cooking time and it worked great.

I had some biscuits I needed to use up, which led me to this recipe....YUMMY! I used 4 cans (7.5 oz each) of biscuits and cut them in half - worked great!

This was really good. Loved the caramel sauce! I cut the recipe down to make enough for 1 container of biscuits. I did not add the nuts or raisins - instead added 1/2 of a banana chopped (boyfriend's idea). Awesome!

Yum. I used butter in place of margarine because it's what I had on hand. Next time I make this I'll be sure to use margarine.

This is an excellent recipe; so easy and it took no time at all to make! More importantly, it is delicious! I only had 2 tubes of biscuit dough on hand, but it made the perfect amount for the 9" bundt pan I used. It filled the pan about 2/3 of the way and I had no problems with spillage in the oven. Aside from using only 2 tubes, (and adding hazelnuts) I followed the rest of the recipe as is. Thanks again for sharing!

This was yummy and the kids loved it! It was so easy! I added half a cup of chopped pecans. The only reason I gave it 4 stars because it was too sugary for my taste. Nothing wrong with the recipe, just my personal taste! ;)

Oh, the memories!! I hadn't had any monkey bread in years...my hubby and my daughter had never had it before. I was stoked to find this recipe because I had a can of butter flavored biscuits. I had to cut everything by a third on account of the one can. This was so good! Next time I'm thinking of putting some chopped up pitted prunes instead of raisins. I didn't do the nuts or raisins in this.

This was really good and so easy to make. The only complaint I have is that I used way less than the cup of sugar it calls for and so I had to throw the rest away....but that is an easy fix. Otherwise a wonderful recipe that I will definitely make again.

i might have a different opinion of this one's rating after i try another monkey bread recipe; however, after researching other recipes, this is the one that deemed most similar to my mama's. very rich! very sweet! exactly what monkey bread is (to me, at least). the only extra step that i added to my version is the dredging of the raw biscuit peices in butter before the cinn & sugar dip. i just remember thats how mr mike likes them.

This recipie was great- and a lot of fun to make. use a bundt pan, and be careful taking it out of the oven. it is best eaten warm, but is good any way you serve it!

I scaled this down and used only one tube of biscuits (each cut in fourths) in an 8-in round pan. It was more than enough for 3 people. It was so delicious.

Excellent and easy recipe. This is my first time making monkey bread. The flavor was very good. The only thing I would have preferred was probably to use a little less butter. I used 3 biscuit dough cans and also cut each biscuit in quarters. The presentation of this dish is very appealing. Great for finger food parties!

I scaled this to 5 servings (for 1 12-oz can of biscuit dough). I used Publix brand buttermilk biscuits, and baked them in 3 mini angel food cake pans (I lost some of the syrup to leakage out the bottom of the pans, but it was the first time I used them so I am going to have to figure out how to prevent that). I only had to bake for 15 minutes using the mini pans, so this was SUPER fast and easy for breakfast and delicious!! I loved the crunch the glaze gave the outside layer, and we used a sprinkling of walnuts in the middle but left the raisins out. My son thought these were awesome - great flavor and fun to eat! I had quite a bit of the cinnamon sugar mix leftover and thought about throwing that into the glaze mix and might try that next time (I like to try to stick to the recipe as its written the first time at least). Thanks for a quick easy and yummy breakfast recipe!
