For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Dough:
- Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large zip-top bag, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Add the biscuit pieces to the bag in batches, shaking to coat each piece well with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Assemble the Monkey Bread:
- Arrange a layer of coated biscuit pieces in the prepared Bundt pan.
- Sprinkle a portion of the chopped nuts over the biscuit pieces if using.
- Continue layering the biscuit pieces and nuts until all the pieces are used.
Prepare the Caramel Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the layered biscuit pieces in the Bundt pan.
Bake:
- Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm monkey bread.
Serve:
- Serve the monkey bread warm, pulling apart the pieces to enjoy the gooey, sweet, and buttery goodness.

Tips:

For an extra touch of flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the glaze.
You can prepare the monkey bread the night before and refrigerate it. Let it come to room temperature before baking.
