licia said:This isn't a true version, but one I've fixed for my family for years.
2 cans refrigerator biscuits
sugar and cinnamon (enough to dredge biscuits in)
butter - melted
pecans - chopped
pull biscuits apart into fourths - dip in melted butter - dredge in sugar cinnamon mixture. layer in bundt pan - after first layer put pecans over - do other layers until biscuits are finished. Bake at 375 until nice and brown (about 20 minutes or so).

That is how I use to make it QSis... but without blueberries. Also I never knew how much of what to use. We would just get a bowl and dump sugar and cinn. in it then roll each piece of biscuit into the the mix. Then put a stick of butter into a pan...melt and add remaining sugar mixture into that...if it needed thickened more we would add more sugar...then dump over the top. I need to make that....haven't done it in atleast 8 years! Your's looked really good though...may have to add some fruit to mine! I bet my daughter would love it!QSis said:Wow, look at all you guys who make your own bread dough! Up until now, I thought ALL monkey bread was made with refrigerator biscuits!
Here's the one I made last summer, when wild blueberries were in season.

Is does look sinful. I put it in my FTV recipe box. I fyou go to the FN web site and do a search for Gorilla Bread, it should come up.Constance said:I've seen it, and it looks sinfully delicious...and the fact that she made it for Jimmy Carter makes it even more special.
It has cream cheese wrapped inside the little bisquit balls, then lots of cinnamon, sugar, and pecans.
