Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
- ½ cup caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Dough
- Thaw the Rhodes Rolls until soft but still slightly cold.
- Cut each roll into quarters for easy layering.
Coat the Dough Pieces
- In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
- Dip each dough piece in melted butter, then coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Layer the Dough in the Bundt Pan
- Place the coated dough pieces in the greased bundt pan, layering evenly.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts and chocolate chips between layers if desired.
Add Extra Sweetness
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar with any remaining melted butter.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the dough for extra gooeyness.
Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Cool & Serve
- Let the monkey bread cool for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a plate.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce or serve as is.
Enjoy!
- Pull apart and enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!
Notes
- If using a refrigerated biscuit dough alternative, adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For extra flavor, add a cream cheese glaze or maple drizzle after baking.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the bread the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning!
