Ingredients

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 package 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 cans 8 oz refrigerated biscuits or crescent rolls (I used crescent rolls for this recipe)
  • cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepared a greased Bundt pan with shortening or non stick cooking spray. You can use either a an 8 x 12 rectangle or a 12 cup bundt pan, even a tube pan will work!
  • Even if the pan is ‘non-stick’ I still spray it. (I love PAM for Baking - see below)
  • In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  • Unroll each can of dough onto a floured surface. I like to use parchment paper on my counter and lightly dust it with flour.
  • And use a sharp knife to slice 10 biscuits from each roll.
  • Cut the room temperature cream cheese into 20 even cubes and then place one cube on top of each piece of dough.
  • Wrap the dough around the cube of cream cheese and crimp the sides.
  • Roll each piece of stuff dough in the small bowl of granulated white sugar and cinnamon
  • Make one layer of cream cheese stuffed bread dough in the bottom of your baking pan.
  • Sprinkle with half of the chocolate chips
  • Sprinkle with chocolate chips and add another layer of the dough balls, repeating this step until the dough balls are finished and the pan is full.
  • Sprinkle any remaining chocolate chips and sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and a stick of butter that has been melted in a microwave safe bowl. This will have a caramel consistency.
  • Pour the warm caramel mixture over everything.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes (depending on your oven) or until the top of the chocolate monkey bread is golden brown.
  • Cool for about 10 minutes, then you can loosen the edges of the monkey bread by running a knife carefully around the edges.
  • While the monkey bread is cooling, whip up a batch of confectioner’s sugar glaze. Link to blueberry coffee cake for glaze instructions.
  • Place your favorite (heat proof) serving plate over pan and then turn the plate and cake pan over carefully.
  • Remove the pan when cool, and pour the confectioner’s sugar glaze over all and serve - if you can wait that long!
  • Cover with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container.
