“When my boys hear I’m planning to make Monkey Bread, they’re eager to help,” says Carol Allen of McLeansboro, Illinois. Brady is the official “shaker”. He coats the biscuits after Mom has cut them into pieces. Jerod arranges the coated biscuits in the pan, then it’s ready to go into the oven. “Both boys really enjoy helping me make Monkey Bread, and it seems to taste twice as good when they’ve helped fix it,” Carol assures. “It’s one of our favorites for breakfast or as a snack.”

This monkey bread is fabulous and easy to make. I used a 10 inch bundt pan and it turned out great! When I make it again I won't wait the 30 minutes to flip. Most of the yummy stuff was left in the pan.

do you fix it the same way with frozen dinner rolls? Have to defrost and let raise first,I'm sure.
