Monkey Bread

For years I have been curious about the Monkey Bread recipe that is on the back of the Pillsbury Grand’s biscuits containers. It looked tasty but I thought to myself that it would never come out as nice as it does in the picture. Then on this winter morning when deciding what to have for breakfast, I discovered that I had some Pillsbury biscuits on hand and I thought what the heck, maybe I’ll try that Monkey Bread recipe. The only substitutions I made was I used Splenda and Splenda brown sugar blends so that it would be as sugar free as possible for my hubby. 

Now if you’ve never made Monkey Bread before, after making this I suggest you do! It is not only easy but it comes out picture perfect, not to mention how tasty it is.

Like I said the recipe is pretty easy and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. This tasty treat is appropriate not only for breakfast/brunch but could be made as a quick entertaining dessert as well. I just can’t get over how beautiful it looks in pictures.

Monkey Bread almost too pretty to eat; almost.
