monkey bread.

if you're looking for a healthy, high energy, good-for-you  delicious, fattening, easy breakfast, look no further!

my cousin jessica gave me this recipe for monkey bread a couple of years ago, and it is majorly yummo.  seriously, you want this in your life.

i hardly ever remember to make it, which is probably a good thing.
but it's a great treat every once in a while!
especially if you have company, it's probably the easiest breakfast for the masses.

without further ado, i give you monkey bread (or sticky buns):

step 1:

the night before you want to eat monkey bread,
grab a good old fashioned bundt pan.

step 2:

grease that baby up.

step 3 (optional):

i added some pecans.
you could add walnuts, or raisins, or anything you like.
or you could add nothing at all! your call.

step 4:
enter: your secret weapon.
frozen rhodes dinner rolls.
pick up a 24 pack out of the freezer section- they're like two dollars. seriously.

step 5:
you guessed it.
throw 'em in there.

step 6:
enter secret weapon number 2:
one box of butterscotch jello cook & serve.

step 7:
sprinkle the jello powder over the rolls.
also add 1 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, and a couple shakes of cinnamon.

step 8:
add a whole stick of melted butter.
i know, a whole stick.
try to cover all the sugary goodness.

step 9:
pause to drool.

step 10:
goodnight little frozen sugary rolls!
cover them up with foil and go to bed!
magical things will happen while you're sleeping.

zzzz....

the next morning you will wake up and come downstairs and your rolls will have risen and be hanging over the bundt pan all oowee gooey like.  i forgot to take a picture this morning.  but make sure you put a baking sheet under the bundt pan the night before in case any ewwie gooeyness runneth over.

next you're going to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and pop those bad boys in for about 25 minutes.  (make sure you take the foil off first, but leave the cookie sheet under the bundt pan because it's gonna get messy).

when they're all done, flip the bundt pan upside down on a plate and this is what you get:

stop it.
omg.
so delicious.

you're welcome.

You should make these when we go back to NL, but use Nanny's dough, when she is making bread.
