Or eaten it? I have eaten it. But never made it. I think it is good. I came across a mold for monkey bread in one of the catalogs I got in the mail. It is making me think of gooey pull apart yumminess. How do you make your monkey bread? Who has a good recipe?

I have made it before. It is pretty good. I first made it in high school in home economics class. We just made them with refrigerator biscuits, butter, cinnamon, and sugar. We put ours in muffin tins, so that we would all get to try the same amount.

I saw that pan you are talking about or one similar in a catalog last night.

I love monkey bread it is so good. It is easy to make if you use Grands! Pillsbury biscuits. Here is a nice recipe from http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?Rid=12327 MONKEY BREAD INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury® Grands!® Homestyle refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired 1/2 cup raisins, if desired 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted DIRECTIONS 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 12-cup fluted tube pan. 2. In large plastic food-storage bag, mix sugar and cinnamon. Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Shake in bag to coat. Arrange in pan, adding walnuts and raisins among the biscuit pieces. 3. Mix brown sugar and butter; pour over biscuit pieces. 4. Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving plate; pull apart to serve. Serve warm. Hope this is something that alot of people can enjoy especially since the weather is turning cooler.

I LOVE MONKEY BREAD! My mom used to make it when I was little and I've been a fan ever since ... I would like to paste a recipe I use but it won't let me. The recipe I use is at www(dot)pillsbury(dot)com, look up Grands! Monkey Bread. I omit the raisins though. :O)

I answered from email when I posted my response but it seems we get our recipe from the same location and I was able to post the recipe. I know how not being able to post and copy can be a pain in the beginning. I'd like to welcome you to Mylot and hope you will finds lots of reason to come back to post for. Happy Posting.

Forgive me for my boldness but a few of y'all are asking questions like, how do you make it and all. Well, if you look up in the previous comments you'll find a recipe and a link to the recipe. :o) It's very easy! And just use a bundt pan to layer it in. Good Luck!

My family lves Monkey bread. There any number of ways to make it. I have made it with tube biscutes and frozen bread loaves. All it is bread cut into small walnut size pieces and rolled in butter then cinnamon and sugar. Put into a loaf or other tall baking dish let it raise then bake. That's all ther is too it.

My sister is the queen of making monkey bread in my family:) We always ask her to bring it when we have brunches together. She just uses a bunt pan to make it in. This works and this way she isn't having another pan to store just for one thing. I am sorry, I dont' have the recipe, but I think it is just refrigerator rolls, butter , cinnamon and sugar.

I used to make it all the time and put it into a bundt pan....not only good but cute too. I have since gotten rid of my bundt pans....but can still make it in my angle food pan. I use the tubes of dough.
