Ingredients

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Grands Biscuits 8-count each
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 67g
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 15g, divided
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter 113g, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar 150g
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips 85g

Instructions

Chocolate Monkey Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  • Open the cans of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters to create pull-apart pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the cocoa.
  • Toss the quartered biscuit pieces in the sugar-cocoa mixture until fully coated for chocolaty goodness.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and salt until well combined to make the sauce.
  • In your Bundt pan, layer half of the coated biscuit pieces, half of the chocolate chips, and half of the butter-brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate to reveal the chocolatey goodness.

Notes

  • Make sure each biscuit piece is evenly coated with the sugar and cocoa mixture for best flavor.
  • Let the bread cool before inverting to avoid a gooey mess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a warm treat.
  • Customize by adding nuts or using whole wheat biscuits for a healthier twist.
