Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Open the biscuit dough and separate out all the pieces. Cut each biscuit into quarters to form small pieces.
Roll each piece of biscuit dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated, then place them into the bundt pan, layering evenly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until fully melted and combined (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the coated dough pieces in the bundt pan, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Bake the Monkey Balls in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top pieces are golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the Monkey Balls.
Serve warm. Pull apart pieces with your hands and enjoy!
