Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 16 pieces Soft caramel squares
- 1 can Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each piece into a ball.
Flatten a dough ball slightly and place a mini chocolate chip or caramel square in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll it into a sealed ball. Repeat for all dough pieces.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Arrange the coated balls in the prepared bundt pan, layering them as needed.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and a smooth sauce forms.
Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough balls in the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and puffed up.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Monkey and Gorilla Bread as a pull-apart dessert or snack.
