Surprise Monkey Bread

Surprise Monkey Bread
From Lois Rutherford of Elkton, Florida: “This recipe is really just a glorified Monkey Bread. I also make it with garlic and cheese for dinner sometimes. When my neighbor has her Christmas brunch, this is one recipe that's always requested.”
12 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cut into 20 cubes
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat brown sugar and butter on high
  • for 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved; set aside.
  • Flatten each biscuit into a 3-in. circle. Combine sugar and cinnamon;
  • sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon in the center of each biscuit. Top with a
  • cream cheese cube. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal
  • tightly.
