Ingredients

2 (10 count) cans of buttermilk biscuits

2 C sugar

2 Tbsp cinnamon

2 sticks of butter

2 Tbsp vanilla

1/2 C brown sugar

Preparation

  • pre-heat your oven to 350 F
  • cut each biscuit into quarters
  • Put 2 C sugar and 2 Tbsp cinnamon in a bag and mix, add the biscuit quarters and shimmy shimmy shake them until all the quarters are fully coated
  • Place 6 or so biscuit quarters in each muffin cup
  • Melt 2 sticks butter, 2 Tbsp vanilla and 1/2 C brown sugar over low-medium heat, until fully melted and the sugar has dissolved resulting in a gorgeous golden brown, dark caramel color (stir frequently)
  • Pour the butter mixture over the muffin cups until each is about 3/4 filled
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 25 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and immediately turn over onto a platter so that all the ooey gooey caramelized vanilla butter sugary goodness tips out and covers the monkey bread bites in their hot lava caramelized goodness.
  • if you have some cute little ramekins or serving dishes, place a monkey bread cup into each one and use a spoon to drizzle more caramelized yumminess over each cup.
