This simple monkey bread recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or even dessert. We themed ours for Halloween. The whole family will love it!With less than a week until Halloween, I feel like it’s time to do my reading friends a solid. I’m going to show you how to make a simple monkey bread recipe just for the holiday!

That means the monkey bread is black with Halloween colored icing, and that also means something even more important: this monkey bread recipe looks like you tried really hard.

But it’s so simple to make that you won’t have to try hard at all.

This simple monkey bread recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or even dessert. We themed ours for Halloween. The whole family will love it!Canned biscuits are your dough, which makes it nice – you won’t be doing anything from scratch. Serve this easy monkey bread to the family on Halloween morning, or maybe as a dessert the night before (since they’ll be getting so much candy the night of). It’s really delicious. And if you are so inclined, the kids can help make it.

Halloween Monkey Bread Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cans large refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • Black gel food coloring
  • Melting chocolates, melted (I used Wilton’s in green, orange, and white)
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Grease a bundt pan or casserole dish with non stick cooking spray or butter and flour. It’s important that you grease the pan well so the monkey bread does not stick.

It won’t be a perfect mix but when you dip the biscuits in the butter, the food coloring will stick and make it black. We used gel food coloring.
