Indulge in the irresistible decadence of Monkey and Gorilla Bread, a gooey, pull-apart dessert that takes the classic monkey bread to the next level. Featuring a dreamy combination of cinnamon-sugar-coated biscuit dough stuffed with melty chocolate chips and soft caramel squares, this sweet treat is as fun to make as it is to eat. Baked golden brown with a buttery brown sugar glaze, the bread pulls apart into bite-sized pieces perfect for sharing—or not! With just 20 minutes of prep time, it’s the ultimate quick and easy dessert for family gatherings, parties, or a cozy night in. Serve it warm for a deliciously sticky, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Roll each piece into a ball.
Flatten a dough ball slightly and place a mini chocolate chip or caramel square in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll it into a sealed ball. Repeat for all dough pieces.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Arrange the coated balls in the prepared bundt pan, layering them as needed.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and a smooth sauce forms.
Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough balls in the bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and puffed up.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Monkey and Gorilla Bread as a pull-apart dessert or snack.
