Monkey Bread

There are a ton of recipes out there for this but we like this one the best. You definitely need a big enough pan for this. The original recipe said a tube pan so I used my angel food cake pan with the removable bottom - this let all the butter leak out and burn in my oven and it was not a fun Christmas morning. My poor sister-in-law had to clean it out since we had to go to my dad's too.

1/2c sugar
1c packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4c melted butter
1/2c chopped walnuts
1/2c raisins
2 cans Pillsbury Grands Homestyle, cut into quarters

Preheat oven to 350. Spray bundt pan with Pam.

Mix cinnamon and sugar in ziploc bag and shake biscuit quarters to coat. Arrange in pan with walnuts and raisins. Mix brown sugar and melted butter, pour over biscuits.

Bake 32 minutes and cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving plate.


Frosting (optional)

Beat together 8oz of softened cream cheese (1 package) and 1/2c butter (1 stick). Slowly add 1.5c of powdered sugar. Beat 10 minutes, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla near the end.
