Wintertime makes me think of fireplaces. Fireplaces make me think of making smores. I got the idea for a Smores Monkey Bread when browsing through a Pillsbury email.
So this weekend, I set about making Smores Monkey Bread. I wanted to make a Monkey bread that was a little less sticky than a traditional monkey bread so I didn’t follow the Pillsbury recipe.
I didn’t have time to make the dough from scratch so I used Pillsbury dough. But rather than using the regular biscuit dough, I used the honey biscuit dough, which is sweeter.
This version of monkey bread is a little less sweet than traditional monkey bread, but that is what I was going for because I find the traditional version too sweet for me. I liked the melted marshmallows and chocolate pieces. I didn’t have graham crackers on hand, but next time I might try coating the dough balls in graham cracker crumbs first before baking to make this dessert taste even more like smores.
I love the look of this dish, especially the toasted marshmallows on top.

yum!
S’mores are one of my favorite foods, and monkey bread is definitely up there too, so this makes the perfect combination. 🙂

Hi Ann!
This looks so good!
Also, I had no idea Pillsbury made honey biscuits, good to know!
I discovered the honey biscuits about a year ago. I like them and they are perfect for sweet recipes so you dont have to add as much sugar/syrup/etc.
