Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a large resealable plastic bag. Separate the biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Put all the biscuit pieces into the bag with the sugar mixture and shake vigorously to coat.
- Put the coated biscuit pieces in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup of the cherry pie filling for garnish and add the rest to the bowl. Add the chocolate chips and melted butter and toss to mix well.
- Transfer the biscuit mixture to the prepared pan, making sure it is evenly distributed. Bake the bread until the top is a deep golden brown and the center of the dough is cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a platter. Garnish the top with the reserved cherries and mint leaves. Serve warm.
