Time 1h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
½ cup margarine
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 (16.3 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, separated and cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and remove extra fat.
  • Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat.
  • Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag; add 6 to 8 biscuit pieces at a time and shake until well coated. Pour any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture into brown sugar mixture. Place saucepan over medium heat and cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 the bacon pieces in the bottom of the tube pan; pour in about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture. Arrange 1 layer of biscuit pieces in the tube pan; sprinkle in 1/4 the bacon pieces. Drizzle about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a drizzle of brown sugar mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked through, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool in pan, 10 to 20 minutes; invert onto a serving plate.

BACON AND CHOCOLATE MONKEY BREAD



Bacon and Chocolate Monkey Bread image

I first learned about monkey bread on a vacation at Club Med and have been a fan ever since. This version is super easy to make. It's a sweet and savory loaf that's perfect for dessert or breakfast! Surprisingly, the bacon and chocolate complement each other, and the maple adds an extra touch of flair.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices bacon, sliced into 1-inch pieces
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 16.3-ounce can homestyle buttermilk biscuits, such as Pillsbury Grands!
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/8 teaspoon maple extract

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11-inch oval baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Open the biscuits. Cut the biscuits in half horizontally for a total of 16 slices.
  • Place one slice in a large bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the biscuit with maple syrup. Top with 1 teaspoon each of chocolate chips and bacon pieces. Top with another biscuit slice perpendicularly, and press lightly to make them stick. Repeat the process, building a tall stack of biscuit dough, until you're out of biscuit halves. (You won't use all the maple syrup; save 1 tablespoon for the drizzle.)
  • Carefully transfer the stack to the prepared baking dish, laying the stack horizontally in the center, and pour any remaining syrup and chocolate over the top. Bake until golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool 10 minutes, then whisk together the melted butter and reserved maple syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar until thick, then add the milk and maple extract and whisk until smooth. Drizzle carefully over the bread and let set, about 10 minutes more.
