~ Chocolate Monkey Bread ~

Ingredients: 2 (7.5 ounce) cans of Pillsbury Country Style Biscuits * 1/4 cup white sugar * 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon * 1 teaspoon cocoa * 5 tablespoons butter or margarine * 3/4 cup brown sugar * 1 cup walnuts, chopped * chocolate chips
Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray your bundt pan with cooking spray. In a bowl combine white sugar, cinnamon and cocoa. Mix well then set aside. On the stove, melt butter and brown sugar and then set aside. Place half of the walnuts in the bottom of the bundt pan. Pat each biscuit out flat and cut them in half. Place 2 chocolate chips in each half piece of dough and roll into a ball. Roll half the dough balls in the cinnamon mixture, then place in the bundt pan. Sprinkle the rest of the walnuts and half of the brown sugar and butter over the first layer of biscuit dough. Place the rest of the dough balls in the pan and sprinkle any leftover cinnamon mixture over them. Pour the rest of the butter and brown sugar over the second layer. Bake 45 – 50 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 – 12 minutes. Turn out onto plate. Enjoy! ~ Chef ~
