Monkey Bread

I love Monkey Bread! I remember making this with my Granny when I was younger!  I decided that I was going to make it on Saturday and to my surprise my husband has NEVER had MONKEY BREAD! I could not believe it.  Needless to say, he loved it!

Ingredients

3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough

1 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

                   

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease bundt pan.               

If using nuts, place some in the bottom of the bundt pan.

Cut biscuits into quarters. Coat 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan.                

In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute.

Pour over the biscuits.
