Is it possible for four kids to cook together without total chaos in the kitchen? Yes, with the right recipe. This is a favorite with my bunch. They get to "play" with the dough as they roll pieces of refrigerated biscuits into balls.—Lisa Combs, Greenville, Ohio

This recipe was so easy! What made it even better is the melted butter and brown sugar that you pour over the whole bread before baking. I have made other Monkey Bread recipes, but this was the best! My family agrees!!

This is a wonderful recipe. My husband and son like the cinnamon roll-type texture. I have also made this recipe without the addition of brown sugar & butter glaze - and it is wonderful that way as well. Makes the bread taste less like cinnamon rolls and more like cinnamon-sugar doughnuts! Yum. I will definitely be making this recipe again :)

This is a great recipe to cook with kids. My 9 and 5 year old son and daughter had a great time. I quartered the biscuits, one child rolled dough balls while the other rolled them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and the finished product is really good. Great with cocoa or a cup of coffee.

Our three kids have made this recipe every Christmas Eve for years and it's always a big hit at the family Christmas Eve party. It goes quickly!

Easy and delicious. We make it all the time when we have guests. My nephew asks for it every time he visits. Sometimes we sprinkle chopped pecans on each layer of dough balls.

I made this just as a simple easy surprise for dessert one night. Definitely would make it again, maybe with some walnuts or some kind of nuts to offset the sweet.

We made this all growing up, but this time, I used crescent rolls instead of biscuits, kind of by accident. I tore up the pieces and rolled them into balls. We will do that always now. They were so light and airy! YUM!

I made this for breakfast on summer vacation for my son and his friends - they still talk about it and have requested it regularly. Very easy to do, and I like the suggestion of adding nutmeg.

I've made it twice now. My husband and I love it! This time, I sprinkled sliced almonds around it.

I cut this recipe in half to see if I would like it. I did make a few adjustments: added a sprinkle of nutmeg to the cinnamon/sugar mix and added a layer of chopped pecans in the center. I baked it in a 9x5 loaf pan for about 22 min. turned out great!
