Morning! Monkey Bread Heads!

Morning to each of you!
I'm sugared up of this delicious different version of "monkey bread"!!! EEEEK!
While we were on vacation in the mountains last week, one of my good friends put this recipe together for us......we had it as an appetizer to the huge delicious breakfast DD and friend cooked!! We all took our cups of steaming hot coffee out on the wrap around porch/deck of the beautiful cabin we stayed in to enjoy the beautiful mountain top scenery when she came out with this hot ooey-gooey good stuff!!! Let me tell you, the aroma was divine!!
I was afraid it was going to lure up the bears!! Uhhh....well actually we did!
But more on that in the next post!

Here's the one I put together lastnight and baked this morning:
Believe me it didn't stay looking like this for long!
I was very surprised at how scrumptious it tasted! I really do not like butterscotch pudding at all (note : it has to be the cook kind not instant).....so I was kind of skeptical on what it was going to taste like.....boy, oh boy was I pleasantly surprised. :)
It carmelized nicely with the real butter and the brown sugar...sooey! It's good!
I think the next time I make it I will be adding a few dashes of cinnamon in with it too.....
I also found some Pumpkin Pie Pudding....wonder what that would be like?

Here it is:

Just thought I'd throw in a couple of pics with some of my Fall centerpieces in the background....
My big ol' punkin bowl just came yesterday......



I sprayed the bundt pan with butter flavored spray, placed the frozen rolls (balls) around in the pan, sprinkled the DRY Pudding over the rolls, melted the REAL BUTTER (8 TBS) (1 stick) and poured it all over the top of the rolls and dry pudding.....then I added about a 1/2 cup or so of chopped pecans. After that's done, I took a piece of plastic wrap and covered the top and set a large plate upside down over it..... plastic wrap and all....
I did it about 10:00 p.m. lastnight and left it on the counter all night to rise.....This morning I removed the plate and plastic wrap, then baked it about 6:30 am for about 28-30 minutes at 350 degrees. I didn't leave it in the pan long after I removed it from the oven.....I flipped it onto the plate I'd used to cover it with before....
There ya go!
I looked on the net for the recipe to list for you all, but actually ran across something even better! It has pictures!! LOL!! Good for those of us (like me) that do better with visual instructions...... *NOTE* Her recipe is slightly different on how it's put together than what I and my friend did......
I sure hope that this blogger doesn't mind me sharing this with y'all since I'm giving the credit to her blog anyhow! She has done a super job with the visuals!!
I think the only thing I did differently was I used 18 rolls as my friend did....I really don't know what the harm would be in using what her's calls for.....try it and see....

Let me know when you all try this and how you like it!
Also, if you get brave and try the Pumpkin Pie Pudding before I do.....let me know what you think! O.K.????
Have a good day all!
I may be back later with a post on our trip to the mountains.....
Please keep my DH in your prayers....he's really having a difficult time with the pain he's in...
We have found a new chiropractor with a very different approach than the ones we're commonly associated with....he even called DH a couple of nights ago to check on him and gave us his personal #'s if we needed anything over the weekend......thought that was very kind.
Til' then!

Glad to see a new post from you. Saying more praqyers for your DH.

Girl, we grew up on monkey bread! mama used canned biscuits instead of rolls. She would cut them in quarters and then add her mixture of brown sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, pecans or walnuts, or whatever she decided to put in there. She even made a savory version with cheese and herbs. Mama was such a great cook!
