I start with a traditional bundt pan but you can use just about any pan to make this sticky and sweet yumminess. The bundt pan really gives it an extra special touch and really makes it look as good as it tastes, ha ha.

This is one of the simplest recipes that anyone can make. It’s practically a no-fail recipe. You could use your own homemade biscuit dough, though we find quick and easy store bought dough works great.

  1. I stumbled across this recipe years ago on Pinterest, and making it with my daughter has become a holiday tradition. It’s also the first thing I’m asked to bring to everyone family holiday gathering! Thank you for this!

  2. 5 stars
    This was my first time making monkey bread and I was very skeptical. I read through several recipes and went with this one. Turned out it was a good choice as it was a homerun! I followed the recipe 100% and received many complements. Great recipe!

  3. Doughy deliciousness! Easy to make too.

    Several suggestions:
    1) If you use Grands biscuits, cut them into six or eight pieces. These biscuits are so large if you only cut in fourths the pieces are very large.
    2) I forgot the vanilla the first time and I think it was just as good or better. If you add it, I would suggest you only use one teaspoon not two.

  4. 5 stars
    I have message this recipe over and over. It’s my go to recipe to impress company and i’m ashamed to tell them how easy it is to make. We love, love, love this recipe. Thank you for sharing it

  5. Very yummy! Great, easy recipe. I Made with 2 tubes of Grands Honey biscuits…nice added flavor. I also put white & brown sugar together in plastic ziplock…” tossed” the dough pieces (6-8@a time). After pieces were covered in sugars I then added that entire sugar mixture to the melted butter & poured on top.
