Monkey Bread

This sounds so good....I was researching recipes for a bread maker Ben's Grandpa gave us and came across this. I know I've had it somewhere I just don't know where...

4 cans refrigerator biscuits (about 40)
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup pecans, raisins and/or coconut, if desired

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Pour sugar and cinnamon into a plastic bag and mix.

Add biscuit pieces, several at a time; shake to coat well.

Place pieces in a buttered tube or Bundt pan until all are used.

Sprinkle layers with nts, raisings or coconut.

Bring brown sugar and butter to a boil in saucepan. Cool 10 minutes, then pou over tp of biscuits.

Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Allow to cool 15 minutes before removing from pan. Turn upside down to serve.

My suggestions: Make sure you watch as they are cooking. I used a muffin tin instead (make sure you only fill muffin holes about 1/2 way to avoid them spilling over the edge!). The 45 mins seemed to be too much and made the top biscuit pieces hard - so maybe only cook about 30 mins maybe even just 25.
