Ingredients

For Monkey Bread:

• 6 full-size Snickers bars, cut into 8 pieces
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For Peanut Butter Glaze:

Step-by-Step Instructions

7. Enjoy your delicious Snicker’s Monkey Bread!

Tips for Success

For best results, make sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly around the Snickers pieces to prevent the chocolate from leaking out. Also, don’t skip the cooling step before adding the glaze; it helps the glaze set nicely on top.

Additional Tips and Variations

You can experiment with different candy bars if Snickers aren’t your favorite. Try using Milky Way or Twix for a fun twist. You can also add crushed nuts or a drizzle of caramel on top for extra flavor.
