Mini Monkey Bread
Monkey bread is a new sweet treat in my house, one that I had always heard of, but had never thought to make. I don’t remember how I discovered this heavenly, doughy dessert, but I do remember watching a video posted on Average Betty with video instructions on how to make this bundle of yumminess.
My first attempt at making this went off without a hitch. The recipe for this dessert says that it yields 12, had I known they would have been gone so quickly, I would have just made 24. These mini mounds of deliciousness are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE so make a batch large enough for your household, and large enough so that you can put some away for your own secret stash. *grinning sheepishly*
