A yummy treat

I love when I find a deal, a new recipe, something I think is cute, etc because I like to share it with my family and friends.  I realized my blog would be a good way to pass on some of those fun finds. 

So here is a recipe that is great for families or anyone else that wants something completely unhealthy but soooo good.  I am sure a lot of you have had or heard of it but if not it is called Monkey Bread.  DELICIOUS!!!  I first had it at our good friends The G's last year and then totally forgot about it until last week when I decided I wanted to make it for my family.  It would be great for a Christmas morning treat, when you have friends spend the night or when you just want to spoil your own family.

The link below includes pictures and a place you can print off the recipe or I have listed it below.

Pastor Ryan’s Monkey Bread

Prep Time:20 Minutes Cook Time:40 Minutes

■3 cans Buttermilk Biscuits (the Non-flaky Ones) I did use reduced fat just fyi
■1 cup Sugar
■2 teaspoons (to 3 Teaspoons) Cinnamon
■2 sticks Butter
■1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Open up all three cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
Next, combine the white sugar with 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon. (3 teaspoons of cinnamon gives it a fairly strong cinnamon flavor. If you’re not so hot on cinnamon, cut it back to 2 teaspoons.) Dump these into a 1 gallon zip bag and shake to mix evenly.
Drop all of the biscuit quarters into the cinnamon-sugar mix. Once all the biscuit quarters are in the bag seal it and give it a vigorous shake. This will get all those pieces unstuck from one another and nicely coated with cinnamon-sugar. Spread these nuggets out evenly in the bundt pan.
At this point, you’re going to want to melt the two sticks of butter together with ½ cup of brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. This can be light or dark brown sugar. Cook butter/sugar mixture, stirring for a few minutes until the two become one. Once the brown sugar butter has become one color, you can pour it over the biscuits.

Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the crust is a deep dark brown on top. When its finished cooking, remove it from the oven. If you have the willpower, allow it to cook for about 15-30 minutes before turning it over onto a plate.

ENJOY!
