Monkeyin' around

Monkey Bread (Pull-aparts)

This photo looks like it was taken in 1978; however, in my defense, I made this at the cabin and the kitchen looks like it is from the 1970's as well as the plate it is sitting on....so it all works.

This satisfies the kids (and Ryan's) requests for cinnamon rolls and it is way less effort.

• Thaw 24 Rhodes white dinner rolls, this takes about an hour. Cut each roll in half.
• In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup brown sugar with 3 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup chopped pecans, if desired.
• In another bowl, melt 1/2 cup butter.

Spray a bundt cake pan with Pam. Dip the roll halves in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar and put in the bundt pan. Spray the tops of the rolls with Pam and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in size (2-3 hours). Remove wrap and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cover with foil the last 15 minutes of baking. Immediately after baking, loosen the edges with a knife and invert onto a plate.
