Can’t believe I made this

I didn’t take pictures, but I’m still surprised I made this “Gorilla Bread” from Paula Deen……it is pure SIN on a plate!  I ended up eating two of the rolls…..sinful I’m telling you! Pure sugar, carbs and fat……I loved it and we sent the rest of it to work with Kenny this morning!

I for sure can’t have this sitting around the house!

The pictures are from various pics on the web.

Gorilla Bread

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
  • 2 (12-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits (10 count)
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring well; set aside. Cut the cream cheese into 20 equal cubes. Press the biscuits out with your fingers and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each biscuit, wrapping and sealing the dough around the cream cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the nuts into the bottom of the bundt pan. Place half of the prepared biscuits in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, pour half of the melted butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle on 1/2 cup of nuts. Layer the remaining biscuits on top, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar, pour the remaining butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of nuts. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Place a plate on top and invert.

  1. That really does look good. Sometimes you just have to indulge.
    But you were smart in not keeping it around the house.
    Your blog is looking wonderful.

  5. That does not look low calorie! Oh yummo.
    I make a similar recipe and use frozen bread rolls......rather than bisquits. I also add butterscotch pudding.
    I am closing my eyes.................
