Both of my boys really enjoyed helping me make Monkey Bread when they were young. It seemed to taste twice as good when they helped fix it. It's one of our favorites for breakfast or as a snack. —Carol Allen, McLeansboro, Illinois

Ingredients

1 package (3-1/2 ounces) cook-and-serve butterscotch pudding mix
3/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, optional
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 tubes (10 ounces each) refrigerated biscuits

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine pudding mix, sugar, cinnamon and, if desired, pecans. Pour butter into a shallow bowl; quarter biscuits. Dip several pieces into butter; place in pudding mixture and toss to coat.
Arrange in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Repeat until all biscuit pieces are coated. Bake until browned, 30-35 minutes. Cool 5-10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

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.
