Ingredients:

  • 4 tubes refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Cream cheese icing (included with cinnamon roll dough or homemade)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Rolls:
    • Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cinnamon roll dough package.
    • Open the tubes of cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces.
  2. Coat in Sugary Bliss:
    • In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss the cinnamon roll pieces in the sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Build the Monkey Bread:
    • Take a bundt pan and generously coat it with non-stick spray. Begin layering the sugary cinnamon roll pieces and, if desired, sprinkle chopped nuts between the layers.
  4. Drizzle with Sweet Elixir:
    • Pour the melted butter over the cinnamon roll layers, ensuring that the heavenly elixir seeps into every nook and cranny.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection:
    • Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through. This will create a beautifully caramelized exterior.
  6. Let It Rain Icing! 🎉🍬
    • Allow the monkey bread to cool slightly before drizzling the cream cheese icing over the top. The warmth of the bread will melt the icing into a gooey, sweet glaze.
  7. Serve and Share the Joy:
    • Turn the monkey bread onto a serving plate, revealing its glorious spiral. Invite everyone to pull apart a piece, savoring the heavenly blend of cinnamon, sugar, and butter.
