trying to unroll the french bread loaf was a bit challenging ... lol.
BUT I GOT IT! lol.
the pieces are probably a little bigger than they're supposed to be but it worked.
hahaha!!

after you get your pieces ... you roll them in the cinnamon sugar

ta-da!

melted butter and brown sugar get poured over the tops of each cup ...

yikes!!! lol
looks yummy!!

and after ... drizzle with a Sweet Cream Drizzle =)

Monkey Bread

1 roll Pillsbury French Bread Loaf
6 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp heavy whipping cream

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Remove bread roll from package and carefully unroll into a rectangle. Press edges together lightly. With scissors (or a pizza cutter as i used) cut into 1/2 inch strips and then cut each strip into 1/2 inch little cubes.
3. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl and gently toss the pieces of dough into sugar mixture.
4. Line muffin pan with paper liners and divide the dough pieces evenly.
5. Place butter and brown sugar into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and bubbly. Pour evenly over each muffin cup.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes (i baked mine for 18 minutes and they came out a little toasted ... i would recommend starting at 15 minutes and add minutes until they're fully cooked)
7. Remove from oven and let sit in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
8. Place powdered sugar in a small bowl and slowly whisk in heavy cream until smooth and desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over each little cup. Serve monkey bites warm or room temperature.

enjoy friends!! =)
