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.”

I made this for my husband coffee group. The men didn't leave me a crumb. One of the guys said this is the best recipe yet. I always made them "monkey bread"

Delicious and easy! I made this Saturday night and refrigerated it overnight until I baked it Sunday morning, and it turned out great. But remember (as I did NOT) that if your cake pan has a dark interior finish, set your oven 25 degrees cooler.

My friend and I made this tiday and it was sooo good. The only thing we didn't put in it was the walnuts. Very easy to make.

This is usually called Gorilla Bread which I made many times with the added sugar and vanilla in the cream cheese. I've also made it in a round and rectagular pans, you just have to ajdust the time.

My sister & I used to make a similar recipe from Home-ec class many years ago & it is yummy! I had forgotten all about it til running across this! My old recipe didn't have cream cheese in it but am DEFINATELY going to try this! Never thought about a savory twist on it-I think I'll try using 1 of the flavored cream cheeses like garden vegetable or chive & onion for the savory type. Running to add to shopping list before I get sidetracked!! :)

I didn't have much time, so I made it in a 9x 13 pan and it had to bake about 30 minutes. It was very good the first day, but after that it looses taste.

This was such a treat for this Valentine's Day weekend. The only thing I did differently was added a couple tsp of powedered sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the cream cheese for a more cheesecake taste. I loved how this was like a donut/cinnamon roll/stuffed french toast. Being really really sweet ,I think next time I may lesson the yummy buttery brown sugar glaze. This is a winner!
