My mom always made caramel rolls and cinnamon rolls growing up, and she liked to go easy a lot of the time and make a bigger more elaborate thing and that was known as Monkey Bread,

Now when I was younger elaborate might have been the operative word, but now realize its not so elaborate and that’s ok. Its addicting and simple.
