Since it will be coming from the fridge, I am going to have to bake it for about 10 minutes longer.

About
My thoughts; it was just ok. I think it could be better by using room temp cream cheese and mixing in the cinnamon and sugar. Then put it a teaspoon of that into each biscuit. It also was a bit to sweet. I am not sure why most monkey breads are so sickly sweet. I know it should be gooey and sweet but I think by using less brown sugar/butter syrup would be better or just skipping it all together and just sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mix. We shall see come New Years Day.
