Biscuit Recipes from Monkey Bread to Coffee Cake and More

Monkey Bread

Anyone remember the traditional Cinnamon Monkey Bread recipe using refrigerated biscuits?   I used to love that as a child.  It was an easy sweet tear-apart treat requiring no utensils or plates.  Just what the kid in all of us wants!

In the tradition of biscuit-based cakes,  I used to make the below coffee cake recipe often as a breakfast treat when I was in my late teens and early twenties.  Try it and let me know what you think.
