Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly & had no problems whatsoever. I made mine in an angel food cake pan. It is more of a sweet roll than a true "monkey bread", which isn't gooy. Will be making this again.

I'm embarassed to say it has taken me 2 years to submit a review on this recipe -- it is a true "go-to" in my house, when the time calls for something special. It's easy, impressive-looking, smells PHENOMENAL, and everyone gobbles it up. Although other reviewers said that this recipe needs some adjusting to turn out, I actually follow it to the word, and it's always perfect. Refrigerated rolls are absolutely NO substitute to frozen, because only the frozen ones rise. To avoid clumping, I say just sprinkle the sugars gradually, and pour the butter slowly. Thank you for this fantastic addition to my recipe box!

Nobody in my family cared for this. I needed it fast so I just followed the original recipe. There were a lot of dry clumps of the brown sugar and pudding. If I make it again, I think I'll follow the review suggestions and cut up the rolls and dip each roll in butter.

This recipe puts cinnamon rolls to shame...I used homemade dinner rolls and followed the rest of the directions, there wasn't a crumb left Christmas morning.

This was great! I used canned bisquits instead. I put some of the cinnamon sugar mixture in the center of each bisquit and folded them over and pinched the edges together. I didn't use all the pudding mixture and added a little more sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter before I poured over each of the layers. I used 4- 7oz. cans of bisquits

What an easy, tasty recipe. The four adults and four kids finished them quickly. As a suggestion, place the nuts on one half of the pan for those who don't like them. It would be worth baking these just for the aroma alone!

These were just wonderful. What's better than having breakfast already in the morning and just having to pop it in the oven. I used an 9x13 backing dish for this and I had 4 rows and 7 bisquits in each row. It worked out perfect. I used frozen rolls for this and the rose to be about 3 times there original size. I cut back on the butterscotch pudding and brown suger mixture next time I will use the full amount as we like ours really really gooey. I will be making these many many more times. Thanks for sharing.

This was very easy and delicious. It rises to be about triple in size so make sure you put in a big enough dish. I also dipped the rolls into butter first. Everyone raved about how goey they were.

My family loved this...a bit sweet for my liking! I used a batch of homemade bread dough (bread machine) and it was excellent. My youngest was not so thrilled because it's very "goopy" but he happily ate it with a fork. I think this will become my traditional Christmas morning breakfast!

My grandchildren assembled this recipe and loved it! Now they call me and ask me to "sleep over" so we can make monkey bread toghether. I thought it as good as any other monkey bread I have had in the past---a little sweet for my taste.

This was SO good! Far better than any refrigerated cinnamon rolls, and almost as easy! I followed the advice of past reviews and dipped each dough piece in melted butter before rolling in sugar/pudding mixture, and it came out really gooey. Just remember to turn it out of the pan, or the caramelized sugar will harden it into place in minutes! Only one question-- where do I get frozen rolls that will rise? I used refrigerated rolls and they remained stubbornly small...

This monkey bread is GREAT but I only gave 4 stars because the first time I followed the recipe EXACTLY and I got uneven dry spots and gooey spots and my family would barely touch it. But the 2nd time I made it for a brunch and this time I melted the butter, dipped dough pieces in this order before putting in pan; butter, butterscotch mix, cinn/sugar mix. Also I layered the dough, butter, cinn/sugar, and butterscotch mix more times than directed and used pecans instead of walnuts in one batch and no nuts in another. EVERYONE WENT CRAZY FOR IT!! I can't go to a potluck without getting harrased now for it! ;D

This is the best monkey bread recipe! (Although it's not the one in the Allrecipes Cookbook - my friend has the cookbook and said her monkeybread "wasn't as good as yours" - when I checked her recipe it was different - this is definitely better! The raised dough makes all the difference, and so easy to assemble the night before and have it ready and baked in 1/2 hour! I just gave someone this recipe today after sharing some - she said she "had to have it!"

Although this is a fun dish to make for kids or an informal brunch, this particular recipe needs some variations which I have listed. I used 4 cartons (10 each) of refrigerated canned biscuits instead of the dinner rolls, omitted the brown sugar, increased white sugar to 3/4 cup, decreased cinnamon to 1 teaspoon, increase melted butter to 3/4 cup. Grease a 10 inch tube pan, remove the biscuits from the pan and cut them in quarters, brush them well with the butter then roll them in the sugar/pudding/cinnamon/nut mixture. Stack them in the pan, then add leftover sugar mixture over the biscuits and butter too. Bake for approximately 25 minutes at 350 - 375. Cool on rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan

This was so good. I used a frozen loaf instead of rolls and it turned out great. I also used almonds instead of the walnuts. This was a delicious treat.

VERY good, but next time I'm going to try to do a better job getting the sugar mixture all around the bread so it's more evenly gooey - maybe it needs more butter.

I promised my daughter Tyler months ago that I'd make her this bread. I kept forgetting about it and when she would remind me, there was always one ingredient I didn't have on hand. She had a school dance to go to Friday night and was having a friend sleep over afterward. I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to make this. It turned out that I didn't have an ounce of brown sugar in the house and didn't feel like running to the store, so I made my own. I just combined white sugar with some molasses and by golly it worked! Well Holly, everyone loved this gooey, warm and delicious morning treat. Thanks so much!

Excellent! I 1/2ed the recipe because I would rather bake fresh than have leftovers. I rolled each frozen roll in the butter before placing in tube pan. Since there was only a single layer when the recipe is 1/2ed, you just put the buttered rolls in a layer and then put the pudding/brown sugar mixture on, next the cinnamon & sugar mixture, nuts if you are doing that, and then pour the melted butter over top. After dipping each roll, I didn't have any leftover butter so I melted an additional Tbsp. and dotted the top with it. 1/2 recipe still bakes for the 30 minutes. ENJOY! This recipe is definitely a keeper!
