Yummy Monkey Bread

Here's another recipe I picked up at the Kraft Delicious Byte Blogger Event a few weeks back.  I didn't make this one personally, but I sampled it and thought it was every bit as yummy as the title suggests.  I thought this might come in handy if you have visitors coming for the holidays.

What You Need:

 1 stick unsalted butter
 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
 1 ½ cups Planter’s Pecan Pieces
 1 cup granulated sugar
 1 tablespoon cinnamon
 2 cans (16.3 oz. ea.) Pillsbury Grands Refrigerated Biscuits (8/can)

Make It:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 13 x 9-in. pan with foil; lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Melt butter; stir in brown sugar. Spread in bottom of prepared pan. Sprinkle with pecans.
Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Cut each biscuit into quarters; coat each piece well with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place coated biscuit pieces on top of pecan-brown sugar mixture. Biscuit pieces will need to overlap---“hug each other” a bit to get them all in the pan.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes until uniformly dark golden brown. Let cool 3-5 minutes. Invert onto large cutting board or platter. Pull apart “bite-size” yum!
