Taco Tuesday: Monkey Bread

I love monkeys, this recipe, and Connie, who always made this for church dinners back in the day!

Monkey Bread

You Will Need:

For Bread:

3 cans of biscuits
1 stick of butter (melted)
Cinnamon/Sugar mixture (to taste)
1 can frosting or make your own

For Frosting:

Powdered Sugar
Vanilla
Milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Rip biscuits into pieces and put into a 9 X 13 inch pan.  Pour butter on top. Then, sprinkle cinnamon sugar.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Top with frosting. Eat and enjoy.

I let my kids help with this recipe, it's very kid friendly.  I skip the canned frosting because it's so much cheaper to make it at home, and I can add a little less.  It's great with the canned stuff and saves some time and dishes. :)

I don't have measurements for the homemade frosting, I just scoop some powdered sugar, around 3/4 a cup or so into my miniature food processor, then add a tiny bit of milk and vanilla.  Then I taste it and add more of whatever I think it needs.

Here's the deal, you can go up and down on quantities based on your family and how sweet you like things. You could go really light on the sugar, half the butter, and skip the frosting, if you're counting calories.  I also think switching to a bundt pan and adding a TON of pecans is a yummy option.  Get creative y'all!

Since my recipe is lacking is specifics, I found one that is similar on allrecipes.com, just in case this format is driving you nuts.  Here is that recipe.
