Simple Maple Bacon Monkey Bread – This is a really easy recipe that comes out so amazingly delicious. Everyone is going to love it. Simple ingredients for a special dessert. Bake one soon and enjoy!

It’s so nice when you make a recipe that your family and friends love and  it’s a really easy recipe that you enjoy making. Well, this one is it. The recipe only has a handful of ingredients and simple ones too. By using a store bought refrigerated biscuits you cut the recipe in half and it’s a fun one to make with the kiddos. Speaking of kiddos, my son asked me what a “monkey bread” is. To be honest, I had no idea. I had heard of monkey breads before and just made this one up by scrolling around the internet. So, I looked it up. These were two definitions I found. “Monkey bread is a soft, sweet, sticky pastry served in the United States for breakfast or as a dessert.” and ” A type of bread using small balls of yeast dough and set in a pan of syrupy sauce.” I think that sums it up. I did read somewhere that monkey breads are sold at fairs, carnivals, and festivals. Yet, I have not come across one as yet. Maybe you have. Scroll down and see how easy my version is. Promise, it’s beyond delish!
