Today, here on Party of Five, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite holiday recipes!!  Actually, to be honest, this recipe is one of my favorites all year round...but Christmas would NOT be Christmas without my mom's special version of monkey bread!  Now, before you stop reading...I know there are a LOT of monkey bread recipes out there, and most people make it in generally the same way.  But THIS recipe is different.  I promise!  And the difference is what makes it special - AND what makes it SO. UNBELIEVABLY. CAN'T. STOP. EATING. IT. YUMMY.  Really.

Ingredients:
1 bag of 24 frozen dinner rolls (the yeast kind - like Rhodes brand)
1 3 3/4 oz pkg (the small one) box of butterscotch pudding mix (NOT instant!)
1/2 C. butter
3/4 C. brown sugar
3/4 tsp. cinnamon

PREPARE THE NIGHT BEFORE for a yummy breakfast or brunch!!  Spray a tube or bundt cake pan with non-stick spray.  Arrange FROZEN rolls in the greased pan and sprinkle the DRY pudding mix over the rolls.

Melt butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture bubbles.  Pour hot, scrumptious-smelling mixture over the frozen rolls.  Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and let stand overnight (or for a minimum of 6-8 hours).  

The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and bake for 30 minutes on 350.  I usually leave the foil loosely over the pan until the last 10 minutes or so, to avoid the rolls getting too brown on top.  After the 30 minutes, remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes, and then invert onto a large platter, letting all of the sauce drip down over the rolls.  Use a heat-resistant spatula to scrape out any extra sauce if left in the pan.

And finally, make yourself a pot of coffee, and enjoy!

(Now, if you are REALLY ambitious, this is EXTRA EXTRA yummy when made with fresh made bread dough instead of the frozen yeast rolls - I've done it - and it truly is so delicious I could almost eat an entire pan of them myself!)

Remember, you have through November 7 to complete your entries for the A-H Jolly Jumpstart Blog Hop, and each comment gets you an extra entry.

***Additionally...here at Party of Five, I will also be having a giveaway at the end of the week!!  I will be posting throughout the week, from now through November 7, various posts about holiday projects, recipes, traditions, and memories.  On November 8, I will choose TWO winners of surprise grab bags filled with goodies to get you in the holiday spirit.  How do you enter?  Several ways!  You will get one entry for each comment you leave (one per Jolly Jumpstart blog post).  You will get another entry by becoming a follower of my blog (if you are already following, just let me know) and leaving a comment letting me know you are following.  You can get another entry by posting about your own holiday traditions and linking to this post on YOUR blog, and leaving me a comment with a link to your blog.  Make sure you check back on November 8 to see if YOU are a winner!!***


Thank you for participating!!  Comments are now disabled, and winners will be announced soon!!

I love these breakfast rolls! We have the same recipe, but we usually just put in in a 9 x 13 pan and also add some nuts. I'm going to make it in a bundt pan the next time, though. Very delicious! Of course, I sometimes have a difficult time finding the Rhodes rolls, if you can believe that!

i am really excited to try your monkeybread. i tried to make them once,the way that i thought they should be made, and wel they honestly sucked. that's the best way to descibe them.the frozen kind is too expensive as 1 pack is not enough for the 3 boys in this family. thanks for sharing. i can smell them now.
