I believe it may have been one of the first recipes besides biscuits that I learned to make by myself. So simple to make and always a favorite, I would love to surprise her by making for Mother’s Day brunch. I also loved to make them for presents at Christmas. I would bake one to wrap up for our school bus driver George. Once I had it all wrapped, I’d place it in the bottom of a white shirt box and tie a big bow around the box bottom and wrapped cake so that it had something sturdy to rest in for the rest of his morning route on our way to school. In the afternoon when I’d climb back on board, he’d always say how much he loved the cake and I’d glance down to a huge part of it missing. I’m not sure if he ate it all himself or if he just cut a huge slice out to save my feelings. Either way, I kept right on making that cake for him year after year. As I got older, I discovered that I wanted something just a bit different with my monkey bread. That’s when the salted caramel version came to be and boy, I’ve never looked back. I just wish I could make one more monkey bread for George and wrap it up this Christmas. I think he’d have had an ever bigger slice! Here’s my Salted Caramel Monkey Bread recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do! Enjoy!Robyn xo
