Nordic Ware Monkey Bread Pan with Mix

I received this Monkey Bread kit (pan and mix) for Christmas and decided to prepare it New Year's morning. I'm glad I read the instructions the day before because the dough must rise twice, and approximately three hours are required to make the Monkey Bread. On the box it states that the included mix is "...easy to make with just a few ingredients from your pantry." That statement is a tad misleading. Here is a list of the additional items needed to make the bread -- 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 12 tablespoons butter, 1 cup pecans (optional - but only if you dislike nuts), 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

I received this as a Christmas gift. At first I wasn't sure I would like it as I've only tried monkey bread from frozen and was not impressed. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to make this monkey bread from the mix but also at how delicious it tasted. I will definitely be using this again for monkey bread and coffee cake and next time I need to give a gift I know just what to buy.

I don't do well with yeast breads, so I knew this would be the case this time.So if your like me don't buy this product for the mix.Buy this product because of it's nice large size and it bakes wonderfully.Nice and even.Thanks for the great pan.
