Overnight Monkey Bread by Babs

Your little monkeys, as well as your big ones, will love this addictive

overnight breakfast delight. Enjoy this like a monkey would by pulling

off pieces of the warm, caramel-coated bread with vour hands-

utensils allowed. It's truly, without a doubt, finger lickin' good. I've

been serving this to all my monkeys for many years, and it's hands down

a family favorite.

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

18 frozen unbaked veast

dinner rolls, such as

Rhodes (1½ 1b/680g)

½ cup chopped raw pecans

½ cup unsalted butter

½ cup firmly packed light

brown sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1 (3 oz/85g) box regular

butterscotch pudding

mix (not instant)

1. The day before serving, thaw the rolls. Spray a

bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread a

small handful of nuts around the pan.

2. In a small bowl, melt the butter. In another small

bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and

pudding mix. Roll the balls in the melted butter,

and then roll them in the dry mix. Evenly arrange

and layer the rolls in the pan, distributing the

pecans throughout. Pour any leftover dry

ingredients and butter over top.

3. Cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel, and allow

to sit on the counter overnight to rise.

4. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F

(180°C). Remove the plastic wrap and bake for

30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the pan while

still hot. Flip onto a platter and let those monkeys

dig in. This will last 2 to 3 days tightly covered

and refrigerated, but ours is always devoured long

before that.

BaBS SAYS.

This can get messy while

baking in the oven. It's a

good idea to place a

foil-lined cookie sheet on

the lowest rack of the

oven while the bread

bakes on the middle rack.

This is meant to be

served by pulling a piece

from the bread-definitely

not cutting. Just ask your
