Grands Pull Apart Rolls
Ok, so I have been monkey bread crazy lately, but hey, it’s an easy way to impress people with a rich and decadent dessert. This one is basically the same recipe as the Monkey Bread I just posted recently, except it uses Pillsbury’s Grands Cinnamon Rolls versus regular biscuits. It also is coated with the icing that comes with the rolls. Using cinnamon rolls to make monkey bread is kind of like using ganache on cupcakes verses frosting. Oh, and let me tell you the aroma of this baking is to die for. Two words here, “Eat Me”.
Grands Pull Apart Rolls (aka Monkey Bread)
Recipe adapted about a thousand times from Pillsbury
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cans Grands Cinnamon Rolls
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine butter and brown sugar and stir until smooth. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Slice cinnamon rolls in quarters and roll each in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place in greased bundt pan. Pour butter mixture over sliced rolls.
Bake for 40 – 45 minutes. The rolls are done when it is firm or “springy” when pressed. *Watch for over-browning of top rolls. You can place a sheet of foil loosely on the top if needed.
Before icing - look at the gooey brown sugar!
my mouth is salivating while reading your recipe and checking out your photos. delicioso. we will be saving this and enjoying soon! thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
omg geez that looks like sugary goodness. I’d love to make it (so easy!) but I’d probably eat it all and die from exploding sugar/butter/carbs
Oh. My. Word. This looks so delicious, I’m having to restrain myself from gobbling up the computer screen! I love that there’s only 5 ingredients involved-when treats are easier to make, all the better!
My roommate used to make this in college! It is so good! Love the post!
Thanks! The ease of these makes them taste so much better!
Oh, boy that is insane looking. Hard to imagine that it could be better but with cinnamon rolls and that glaze it is.
Keep the monkey bread coming!

Just made this and it was yummy!! My local small town grocery store didn’t have the grands, so all I could find was the store brand cinnamon rolls with icing, so it wasn’t as big as this pic but it was still enough to feed 4 of us and still alittle left over. Thanks for the cheap and easy idea.
