Ingredients

Monkey Bread

  • 24 frozen Rhodes dinner rolls
  • 1 small box vanilla pudding mix (NOT instant)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 stick butter melted

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

For The Monkey Bread

  • Right before going to bed (or about 10 pm), spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray. Place all 24 frozen rolls into the pan. Mix dry pudding mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon together, and then sprinkle evenly over the frozen rolls.
  • Pour the melted butter all over the rolls, trying to cover all of the sugar. Cover with saran wrap thats been coated in cooking spray, and cover rolls. Let it stand overnight on the counter until morning. Rolls will be all risen. If they are overflowing above the top of the pan, gently prick the tops to deflate a little bit. Place the bundt pan on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

For The Glaze

  • Remove from oven and let stand while you mix glaze ingredients. Gently turn the bundt pan upside down to remove the monkey bread onto a serving platter. Drizzle with glaze and serve warm. Enjoy!

Note

  • If making this for a dinnertime dessert, just prepare as directed at least 5 hours in advance to allow time for the rolls to thaw and rise.
