GRANDS MONKEY BREAD (STOLEN)



Grands Monkey Bread (stolen) image

I did steal this from a grands biscuit package--BUT I hope they don't mind! I didn't use the raisns or walnuts in mine--It;s just a matter of taste.. My youngest son doesn't like either--But I think PECANS would also be good, instead of walnuts. This has a very carmely flavor and pecans go with carmel! I hope you enjoy!!
