Monkey bread kabobs, also known as "monkey balls", are a delectable and entertaining treat that will be the highlight of any social gathering or party. With their bite-sized, fluffy dough balls coated in cinnamon sugar and skewered on a stick, they are a delightful combination of textures and flavors. The name "monkey bread" originates from its resemblance to the way monkeys would pick and eat fruit from trees. These sweet, bite-sized morsels are not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile as they can be customized with various dipping sauces, fillings, or even different dough flavors.

MONKEY BREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Grease a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut the biscuits into quarters and roll into balls. Combine 2/3 cup of the sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, the cardamom and the zest from 1 orange in a shallow dish. Roll the biscuit balls in the mixture. Place the coated balls in the pan, sprinkling some of the mixture over the balls occasionally while filling the pan.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon and the vanilla. Warm, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Add the remaining orange zest and pour over the top of the biscuit balls.
- Bake until the top of the bread is golden and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 5 minutes. Unmold the monkey bread onto a cake plate. Slice or pull apart to serve.

MONKEY MEAT KABOBS
I got this recipe from a friend years ago. In the Philippines they actually used monkey meat, but here in the USA we use pork steak. The number of bamboo skewers used depends on the amount of meat you prefer on each skewer. I guessed for this recipe.
