Sticky Monkey Buns

Yummy Yummy Yummy! Sticky Monkey Buns...

I renamed this recipe Sticky Monkey Buns because it's kind of a cross between Sticky Buns, Pull Apart Cake, and Monkey Bread.  And I kind of think this name is funny.  My family loves the rich gooey goodness of this sweet bread.  It's pretty easy and always impresses people when you bring it somewhere.  A good recipe to keep on hand when you want to deliver some happiness to a neighbor or great to bring to a brunch!


Ingredients:
Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits 4 pack (shrink wrapped together)
2-4 packs of raisins (how ever much you like!)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 stick butter 
3/4 cup dark brown sugar (light brown works too, but dark is better)


Mix cinnamon and sugar together in bowl.


Open each package of biscuits.  Break each biscuit in half and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture as shown.


Place biscuits halves in well greased bundt pan. 

Add raisins (and nuts if desired) and remaining biscuit pieces.  



Melt butter and brown sugar over low heat until runny and bubbly.


 Pour over biscuits and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

 Let cool in pan about 10 minutes before flipping onto a plate.

Place plate on top of bundt pan and flip over onto plate.  It will slide right out and you'll see all the richness of this sweet treat!  Let slightly cool before serving or after it cools wrap it in foil. Do not put in the fridge.

Enjoy your sticky monkey buns!

***Sometimes I double the butter/brown sugar topping and pour half over half the pieces and the rest over the top.  This is not needed though.  Just extra gooeyness and sweetness if you want it!
