Monkey Bread

Okay so I made this snack for a group of adults but it would be a cool snack for toddlers...


Think of how monkeys "pick" the bugs off of each other. How they pick at food. What toddler wouldn't want to eat like a monkey? I could just see a group of little ones going at these bite sized gooey pieces. It's a semi-homemade kinda recipe which is not usually my style but sometimes you gotta cut corners. *Recipe from Pillsbury Website* (I added homemade icing too)

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury® Grands!®refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 12-cup fluted tube pan with shortening or cooking spray. In large -storage plastic food bag, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.
2. Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Shake in bag to coat. Arrange in pan.
3. In small bowl, mix brown sugar and butter; pour over biscuit pieces.
4. Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving plate; pull apart to serve. Serve warm.
