You can either cut this bread into generous slices, or let everyone pick off the gooey pieces themselves, just like monkeys! No one can resist this tender, caramel coated bread. TOH Test Kitchen, Greendale, WI

When I saw this recipe in Taste Of Home I knew I had to try it. It is a family favorite now. It is also very easy to make.

I love it when I find a REAL recipe! To everyone making monkey bread with canned biscuit dough -- YOU HAVEN'T REALLY HAD MONKEY BREAD. Yummy! Worth every minute to make it right!

Made without pecans as the family doesn't like pecans and didn't have a fluted pan so put them in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Everyone loved the taste and texture! Warm up nicely in the microwave as well!

This recipe is FANTASTIC! It takes more time and work than using the tube biscuits but there is no comparison in taste. Tender, sweet, and gooey! I used someone's idea by dipping the dough in milk it works great with less fat. Wow! A keeper for sure!

I halved the dough recipe but did not alter the caramel, and it turned out delectable! I dipped the rolls in milk rather than butter before rolling in the cinnamon-sugar to cut down on the fat, and it turned out as delicious as I hoped. The beautiful honey color of this bread makes it a feast for the eyes as well :)

This was great- I slightly overcooked it though, so be careful the dough should be slightly soft which I didn't know!

For years, I made a monkey bread that was passed down from my mother - and it used butterscotch pudding instead of the caramel sause. I love my recipe - but this one was incredible and is definetly one that I will make again.I did try something a little different this time - instead of using a bundt pan, I made individual monkey bread by following this reciepe - but then each ball I would seperate into two and used a muffin pan. Afterwards, I was able to individually wrap each muffin-sized bread. I have some more experimenting to do at that - but it turned out great - and for those who are cautious about who touches the bread - this is a great way to go.
