These are awesome to take to my kid’s classrooms when they have to take in a snack. They are the perfect size for little fingers. I used to be that mom that always took in something that was store-bought and showed no effort, but not anymore. I am that one that makes something homemade, (that looks like it took a lot of effort, but really didn’t). Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Julie’s Eats & Treats:
“I feel like if there is one thing you should make in your life, it should probably be this monkey bread.”
When someone calls on you for dessert, it’s nice to have this little ticket in your back pocket.
Ingredients
Monkey Bread
1 can refrigerator biscuits (I use Pillsbury Grands)
3 Tbsp Domino sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet are fine as well)
1/3 cup Nestle Toll House peanut butter chips
Peanut Butter Caramel
3/4 c brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp Jif peanut butter
1-2 Tbsp milk or cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners (this recipe makes about 10 mini monkey breads).
Cut each biscuit into 4-5 pieces (depending upon how large each biscuit is).
Flatten each piece in the palm of your hand and place 2 dark chocolate chips and 2 peanut butter chips in the center. Fold the dough completely around the chips (so the chips do not show) and roll it into a ball.
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together. Roll each piece of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place sugared dough into the muffin cups; 3-4 per cup.
If there are left over chocolate and peanut butter chips, feel free to add extras in and around the dough.
In a small saucepan, combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, 1 Tbsp milk (or cream), and vanilla extract. Once all ingredients are combined, bring to a boil. As soon as it’s boiling, take it off the heat. If the sauce is too thick, add in the last Tbsp of milk (or cream).
*Spoon a little of the sauce over each muffin cup, repeating until you are out of sauce.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
Best when served warm. Enjoy!
