I had never heard of Monkey Bread. It's really very good! Made it for breakfast for my fellow coworkers. If I hadn't snitched a couple of pieces for myself before I brought it in, I wouldn't have gotten any! It was gone in seconds! :-)

This is a great recipe to make with kids because they can do the majority of the preparation and it's a lot of fun. However, most recently, this was a hit at the adult party. We couldn't stop eating it! I recommend using only one stick (half cup) of butter.

These are just plain fun and so yummy, flaky, sweet and nutty. The fun of Monkey Bread is pulling off biscuits to eat. A great brunch item.

Wish I could give this more than 5 starts. I have made this many times. The first time, I used Grand Biscuits.............I love them better than the inexpensive ones, so I splurged....however, It is FAR better with the inexpensive canned biscuits. Thanks again for the great Recipe.

This is soooooo good & easy to make :). It took about 50 minutes for mine to be completely done, the last 25 minutes I put foil over the top so it wouldn't get too brown. I would love to add diced up apples. Thank you for sharing!

I used crescent rolls instead of the biscuits.. they were a bit gooey in the middle. I probably would pre-bake the first layer a bit and then add a second layer and the brown sugar.. Other than that it was perfect!

So good! It's the first time I made monkey bread before but it turned out better than I expected. I made a batch of white bread dough instead of the pillsburry biscuits. I used butter instead of margarine. And because I don't have a bundt pan I used a cake pan. I poured the extra cinnamon sugar over the pan. I made it as a dinner dessert and what a hit! Super easy.

Great Recipe!!! We've made this twice in the past week for guests and they all loved it. Used 1 1/2 sticks of butter instead of margarine. Simplified the directions by mixing sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together and rolling the biscuts, then melting the butter with the water and mixing it with the rest of the sugars and cinnamon then pouring it over the biscuits. Perfect each time!!!

Yumm! Like another reviewer, we cut the recipe to 1/3 of the original size and baked in a bread pan for the same amount of time. We also used butter instead of margarine and left out the nuts. We served it with chili and it was amazing!! We will definitely use this recipe again!

This is the first time that I have tried this recipe. It was pretty good. For some reason it was a little dry. Followed it step by step. I think it needs butter instead of margarin, just to much water in the margarin to evaporate during the baking period. With this amount of biscuits, it does need 1 cup of the butter or if you choose margarin. Also the next time I will put the nuts on top instead of on the bottom.
