This is the best monkey bread recipe we have ever tried, and we have tried quite a few! I love the technique of shaking the biscuit pieces in a bag with the cinnamon sugar, it is soooo much easier than dipping each piece in butter and rolling it in the cinnamon-sugar and I get a more even coating this way. Boiling the brown sugar with the butter (I don't use margarine hardly ever) really makes a great, cohesive end product. I layered half the biscuits in my bundt pan and drizzled about 1/3 of the sauce over them, and then added the rest of the biscuits and covered it with the rest of the sauce. I omitted the pecans and used 2 cans of Grands buttermilk biscuits which my daughter and I cut into 6 pieces. Divine! It is so hard to stop eating this and it was a nice treat we will only make occasionally due to the calories and fat. Thanks for a fantastic recipe.

I make Monkey Bread all of the time and always try new recipes for it since there are so many to choose from. I have to say that so far, this is my favorite! It is so oooey and gooey! The only thing that I didn't add was the pecans, just because we aren't a big nut family. Great recipe carolinafan. Thanks for sharing! I'll be making this one again

I remember making Monkey Bread in junior high school and I thought this would be a great recipe to make with my young children (2,4,& 6 yrs old). This was a great kid participation recipe. My oldest son said, "This is the best bread I've tasted in my whole life!" I held myself back from revealing to him that it was so good because of the tons of sugar and butter. I used three jumbo cans of buttermilk biscuits. This was a little too much for the bundt pan. They rose up higher than the pan and some of the sugary mixture dripped in my oven. I used real butter and left out the nuts. I started off putting everything in a big plastic bag, but the bag broke from the weight. I transferred the contents to a huge bowl and mixed the pieces together with my hands. I did not grease my non-stick bundt pan thinking I wouldn't have a problem getting it out. The bottom third of the bread did not come out on its own. It was a good thing the appearance of the finished product didn't matter. I would highly recommend this recipe.

I made this for my son's birthday breakfast this morning. We all loved it! (especially him) I just used a 9 by 13 pan. I usually make a recipe similar to this with frozen bread dough but I love the ease of this one because you don't have to make it ahead of time. It will become my new birthday and Christmas breakfast recipe. Thanks!

I also left out the nuts, and used real butter. Wow! This was so simple and good. Came out of my bundt pan just fine. I found mine cooked in around 30 minutes. Dh ate 1/2 of it himself. Thanks for sharing!

My family and I just love this recipe! It is usually our Sunday breakfast. We just all sit around it and devour it We don't use the pecans because I am not a big nut fan. Everyone who has tried it has asked for the recipe! Of course we don't make it every Sunday cause it isn't the healthiest thing I have ever had... but that is what makes it so wonderful, it is such a treat, like having dessert for breakfast I thank you and my family thanks you!!!
