Gorilla Bread

This is SOOOOOO good!!! This is our "Christmas Tradition" breakfast and it is so awesome! Once I accidentally put cinnamon in with the butter mixture and MY WORD it was wonderful! You can also substitute the walnuts with pecans! DELISH!! I'm glad others have tried this gem! I'll be making it again in a few days!

I used 2 cans of Grand biscuits and cut them into thirds. I formed some of the sections into balls and coated them with the cinnamon sugar mixture with a pinch of nutmeg. I made the cream cheese into balls using a small cookie scoop with cold cream cheese. I coated the cheese balls with the cinnamon sugar, as well. With a rolling pin, I flattened out twenty of the biscuit balls and wrapped them around the cream cheese balls. I placed the balls on a wax papered cookie sheet and covered the sheet with plastic wrap and foil and refrigerated overnight. I coated the Bundt pan with butter, sprinkled the bottom with pecans and layered the bread, beginning and ending using the biscuit balls without the cream cheese. I sprinkled in raisins and drizzled the brown sugar butter sauce (which is incredible, btw after each layer. It baked beautifully in exactly 40-mins and rose to the height of the pan. It tastes great!

I made this to share with some friends. It went over so well! They loved it. Have made it several times since then. Always a hit. When there's a sale on canned biscuits, I stock up. You can freeze them to use later. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is truly a phenomenal recipe! It's a little time consuming (wrapping all of the little pieces of cream cheese), but WELL worth it! If you wanted to make this in the morning, wrap all of cream cheese/biscuit pieces the night before and assemble in the morning. Thanks for posting! I heart Paula Deen :D

When I saw Paula Deen's name, I knew this would be good. I make monkey bread fairly often for Sunday breakfast but this recipe takes it to a new level. It takes a little longer to make but well worth it. I also ended up baking for close to 40 minutes or so. Watch out when biting into the biscuits, the cream cheese stays hot for awhile. Thanks for posting a keeper! Made for Spring 2008 Pick~A~Chef.
