Chocolate Cream Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread





Had a little extra time this morning to bake!
I was so excited because baking feels like a therapy to me, just like yoga.
There's something about baking that makes me forget about everything.
Just me, in the zone getting creative. 

We've been eating so healthy these days and my craving for carbs and sweet are through
the roof! 
It's okay to have a little bit right?
I swear I didn't eat the whole thing! haha!



Chocolate Cream Cheese Stuffed Monkey Bread


Ingredients:
  • 2 16 oz container biscuit dough
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • Chocolate chips
  • 1 Cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 Cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • Cut biscuits in half and cube the cream cheese. Flatten each biscuit and place one cube of cream cheese and a few chocolate chips in the center of each. Fold the biscuit dough around the cream cheese and chocolate and form into a ball.
  • In a gallon plastic bag, combine 1 cup of white sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Add 6-8 dough balls to the bag, seal the bag and shake until well coated. Repeat for the remainder of the stuffed dough pieces.
  • In a microwave safe bowl add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Microwave on high for 70 seconds stopping halfway to stir. Remove from microwave and stir until it reaches a caramel consistency.
  • To a greased Bundt pan sprinkle half of the walnuts, half of the dough pieces, and drizzle half the caramel glaze. Repeat with the remaining walnuts, dough and caramel glaze.

  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and turn upside down onto a plate to cool for 10 minutes before lifting off the pan (this way  the warm glaze runs back through and fully coats all the bread)

  • Lift off the pan and serve!


Enjoy!


This was so easy to make and so good!
I bet you will like it too!



Someone was so excited to have some!
