Ingredients

• 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

Open the biscuit dough and separate out all the pieces. Cut each biscuit into quarters to form small pieces.

Step 4

Roll each piece of biscuit dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated, then place them into the bundt pan, layering evenly.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until fully melted and combined (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the coated dough pieces in the bundt pan, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

Step 7

Bake the Monkey Balls in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top pieces are golden and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the Monkey Balls.

Step 9

Serve warm. Pull apart pieces with your hands and enjoy!
