Ooey-Gooey Caramel Monkey Bread

This caramel monkey bread recipe is also known as caramel monkey puzzle bread, caramel bubble bread, or caramel pull-apart bread.

It is so easy Miss M, learned to make it when she turned 12 (with minimal supervision from Mom). Here she is with her first monkey bread.

It is fun to make, cutting ready-made biscuit dough into quarters, shaking in a bag of cinnamon sugar, and pouring a sugar and butter mixture over the top, that, once cooked, becomes an ooey-gooey caramel sauce.

It takes less than an hour to make and is a delicious sweet, served warmly.
