Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate. It makes all the difference in the taste of the monkey bread.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate. It shouldn't be too hard or too soft. You want it to be just melted enough to coat the monkey bread balls.
  • Be careful when frying the monkey bread balls. Don't overcrowd the pan, or they won't cook evenly. And don't fry them for too long, or they'll be hard.
  • Make sure the monkey bread balls are completely coated in powdered sugar before serving. This will help to keep them from sticking together.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm. It's best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Hot chocolate monkey bread is a fun and easy dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips. Whether you're making it for a party or just for a snack, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
