Monkey Balls


This is my take on the ever popular morning treat, Monkey Bread.

1 can of Pilsbury Grand Butter Tastin' Biscuits
2/3 cup of sugar
2 T. of cinnamon
1/2 stick of butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray your muffin tins well with Pam or cooking spray.
2. In a size bowl mix the cinnamon and 2/3 cup of white sugar.

3. Cut each bisuit in 4. Roll dough pieces in cinnamon sugar mix. (Get your kiddos involved, my two-year old loves to do this part for me!)

4. In a small sauce pan melt butter and stir in 1/2 cup of brown sugar... dont let it bubble.

5. After the pieces are coated put 2-3 pieces of dough into each muffin tin.

6. Spoon the butter/sugar mixture over each 'cup of dough' in the muffin tin. I usually do like 1 to 1 1/2 T. in each cup.

7. Use the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture to sprinkle some over the top of the dough before you throw it all in the oven.

8. Cook the biscuits according to the directions on the package! (I think it's 350 degrees for 14-17 minutes). Careful the sugar part is REALLY hot when it comes out! And be sure to take them out of the muffin tin while they're still warm!

This is one of our favorite morning treats and it's so easy to make! They even reheat well! Please note that if you don't have access to Pilsbury biscuits I'm sure you can substitute any other type of raw dough... just be sure to adjust the cooking temperature and times to suit your dough!
Enjoy!
