Pull Apart Monkey Bread Recipe Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a bundt pan with the baking spray; set aside.

Biscuits cut in four
Hershey's kiss and sprinkles

Open the cans and place the biscuits onto the cutting board. Cut biscuits into quarters. Flatten each quarter slightly.

Sprinkle some Christmas sprinkles into the center of each biscuit. Place an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each biscuit.

Roll each biscuit into balls of dough and set aside. Repeat the step with the remaining biscuit quarters. Pour the 1 C of sugar and ground cinnamon into a Ziploc bag.

Add in several dough balls into the ziploc bag and shake until fully coated. Remove from the ziploc bag and place into the bundt pan. Repeat the step until all dough balls are coated in sugar.

In a bundt pan - as shown

In a medium saucepan, place the 1 C of butter and 1/2 C of brown sugar and place on medium heat. Mix butter mixture until melted. Pour the sauce all over the biscuits in your prepared bundt pan.

Place in the preheated oven to bake for 40-55 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Place the top of a plate onto the top of the bundt pan and turn the monkey bread over onto the serving plate. Sprinkle additional Christmas sprinkles on top of the monkey bread before serving. The end result will be something magical because it is such a great recipe.

Tips and Variations:

  • Consider using cinnamon roll dough instead of biscuit dough. 
  • Top with cinnamon-sugar mixture for a crunchy bite
  • Store leftovers by wrapping entire muffin tin in plastic wrap or put individual pieces of pull-apart bread in airtight container
  • To add to the cinnamon flavor, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of apple pie spice to dough pieces before cooking. Similarly, you could also sprinkle light brown sugar before baking.
  • If you are gifting this cinnamon roll monkey bread to a hostess, make sure you include the original recipe. Print out a recipe card and add it to the gift. 
  • Top with caramel sauce.
