Monkey Bread

 A Christmas brunch tradition at my mom's house is one the entire family looks forward to all year long.  Mom always has a smorgasbord of yumminess prepared, with love, for her family.  One of the favorite menu items, for adults and kids alike, is Monkey Bread.  It is an ooey-gooey, sticky bread that is finger-licking good...literally, you HAVE to lick your fingers.  I recently made some for my MOPS group and it was a big hit there as well.  Easy to make, yummy to eat, the perfect compliment to a brunch or as a dessert with coffee...whichever, it is just plain good!!!  (This is for my sister-in-law Pam....her FAVORITE thing at Christmas brunch is Monkey Bread.)

 The ingredients:  cinnamon, sugar, refrigerated biscuits, and butter....enough that even Paula Deen would be proud.

 Mix 3 teaspoons of cinnamon and one cup of sugar together.  I like to use a container that has a lid so that you can shake your biscuit pieces up in the container.  A ziploc bag would work too.

 Cut the biscuits into quarters.

 Here is the pile.

 

This is a fun recipe to make with your own little monkeys. Abby, with her bed head, really enjoyed shaking up the pieces.  

 Coat a few pieces of biscuits in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.  Place the coated pieces into a sprayed bundt pan.

 The quartered biscuits will only fill up the pan about halfway...but never fear, they will plump up in the oven.

 Melt 1 1/2 sticks of  margarine/butter in the microwave and add the remaining cinnamon and sugar.

 Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
 Invert bundt pan on serving platter and remove pan.  Yum!! Yum!!

 Just look at the deliciousness dripping off the side...WOW...I am hungry right now!!!
