  2. These look FABULOUS!
    However, I don’t think you really want to add 4 cups of sugar to the melted butter. Did you mean 1?
    I will be making these soon!

  3. Under ingredients you’ve listed 3 cups of sugar. You use 2 for the zip bag and then call for 4 into the melted butter. That seems like a lot. Did you mean 1 cup into the melted buter? Sounds DELISH! Thank you!!!

  5. Are the amounts right? 4 cans of dough feeds only 4 people? And the sugar is listed as 3 cups at the beginning but 6 cups in the directions. I want to make these soon-they sound very yummy!

  6. In the recipe it says to use 2 cups of sugar with the cinnamin mixture…but then 4 cups with the pecans…with only a total of 3 cups for the recipe. Can you clarify a little? Also, if there is a nut allergy & we don’t use pecans should I just put the butter on top or mix the sugar and butter to drizzle on top? Thanks for your help!

  7. These rolls look great, but I have a question about the amount of sugar. The recipe calls for 3 cups of sugar, but in the directions it talks about mixing in 2 cups and then 4 cups. Could you clarify how much sugar you use? 3 cups is a lot of sugar already so 6 cups seems like way too much for an 8×8 pan of rolls! Thanks!

  8. The recipe calls for 3 cups sugar, but if you add it up while preparing the recipe (2 cups in the shake bag + 4 cups with melted butter) it adds up to 6 cups. Which is it? Thanks!

    1. That does sound a bit odd, doesn’t it? But yes. You will likely get more servings out of it but given the variance of appetites it is a safer bet to leave it at 4 servings!

  12. We make these in a bunt pan and serve upside down. That way all the goo splashes out on top of the bready bites!!!

  13. This would be a great monkey bread recipe in a bundt cake pan. I think we’d have to triple the recipe for it to fit.

  14. I made it for breakfast this morning and while it was delicious…loved it!…it overflowed my pan, made a HUGE mess in my oven and there were still doughy pieces in the middle.

    1. Well that stinks. It sounds like you might have used a pan that wasn’t big enough or wasn’t tall enough. They definitely go best in a deep dish pan. And the undercooked portions usually result from being too packed in together. Sorry. 🙁

  15. Will this recipe make one pan? I want to make a couple of pans for the freezer so I didn’t know if I should double the recipe or not.

  16. I had the same problem as Jen. It overflowed and made a huge mess (one of the worst I’ve ever had). I should have used a bundt pan or a 9X13 pan.

  18. So, this recipe is for one pan? Or is it for four pans? I got a huge mess and I forgot one of the bisquit tubes and the apples. Just wanted to be clear for next time.

    1. We have gotten several comments leaning it towards 4 instead of 2. It really depends on the size of pan you use really. If you got a huge mess with 2 then definitely use 4 next time.

    1. Never tried it but I am sure it would work. Feel free to let us know how it goes if you do.

  20. I used a 9×13 and still got a huge mess, but it was worth it. Absolutely delicious!

  21. Is there any chance that this recipe should yield 4 8×8 pans of the bread? The fact that you use four biscuit cans makes me think there’s a misprint in this recipe?

    1. I am sure it can but it was meant for 2 deep dish 8×8 pans, some have had spills though so that might be wise.
