Monkey Bread!

OK so I have had this recipe for awhile, but didn't make it. During Hurricane Irene it just so happened to be my moms birthday. I had planned a brunch & things went according to plan till 9 am & then no power. Thank Goodness I had already made this & had it sitting when that happened. I had to finish the rest of my stuff on the grill, and this bread was able to hold everyone over. It was amazing & everyone couldn't stop eating it.

Ingredients

• 2 pkg of  refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1/2 cup raisins

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube/Bundt® pan.
2. Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
3. Melt butter and add brown sugar, mix then pour over biscuits                    .
4. Bake at 350 degrees F  for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart
