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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle with Sweet Elixir:
- Pour the melted butter over the cinnamon roll layers, ensuring that the heavenly elixir seeps into every nook and cranny.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
