About

Mmm, monkey bread! The very best of tear-and-share bread. We're all familiar with the sweet version, but with a few changes, monkey bread can become a cheesy and herby appetizer that you won't want to stop eating. Cheesy Monkey Bread is still a snap to make with only a few ingredients, and once you're done, you'll have a buttery melt-in-your-mouth delight. You might just be tempted to keep the whole thing to yourself.
