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.”

Brought this to work to share and it was a hit. I made a couple of changes. I dredged each biscuit in cinnamon and sugar after flattening them and then added 2 Tbls of sugar to the cream cheese and put a dollop in each biscuit.

I really enjoyed this recipe and would like the recipe for the garlic and cheese version please.

This recipe is so simple to make and really good. I won't use the cream cheese in the future because it doesn't match the sweetness. I will use a small pat of butter instead. My family really like this and it will be added to our "Favorite Recipes" file.

I forgot to mention that this was in the December 2010 issue of Alabama Living

I just found this recipe in our Alabama Living Electric Co-op Newsletter. It was called Christmas Morning Monkey Bread. I tried it like the recipe calls for the first time and everyone loved it. When I made it for Christmas breakfast I cut the creamcheese into smaller cubes and used 4 cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into fourths. Everyone still loved it. I like the smaller cubes of cream cheese better. I wil try it with a savory garlic and cheese for a dinner bread like suggested. This is a recipe that my 17 year old daughter wants when she moves out on her own when she is old enough to start her own recipe collection.
