I found this recipe (using Pillsbury Grands) several years ago and my family just loves it. The fun part of pulling off a piece of warm, sweet bread bites is a treat for everyone. It's a great treat for Sunday morning brunch, holiday breakfasts or just whenever you want a special sweet treat.

How To Make monkey bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F; lightly grease a regular Bundt pan with butter-flavored shortening or cooking spray.

Step 2

PREPARE SUGAR/CINNAMON: Add the sugar and cinnamon in a large plastic storage bag and shake well to combine.
Step 3

PREPARE THE BROWN SUGAR/BUTTER: In a measuring cup (for easy pouring) melt the butter in the microwave and then add the brown sugar and mix well
Step 4

SEPARATE THE 16 BISCUITS and cut each into quarters. Add pieces into the bag and shake to coat with the sugar/cinnamon.
Step 5

Arrange a layer of the dough, sprinkle with some of the nuts and raisins, drizzle a little of the brown sugar/butter. Repeat layers in this order, until all ingredients are used.
Step 6

Bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy (time may vary according to your oven).
Step 7

Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes and turn upside down onto a serving dish. (OPTION: Drizzle with the glaze) Serve while warm, pull-apart-style.
Step 8

While bread is cooling, combine the glaze ingredients (if you are using glaze) in the measuring cup (for easy drizzling).
