March 10, 2016 at 4:22 amHi! About how many servings do you believe are in this recipe? I need to feed quite a few people, so will be separating only a couple pieces of the monkey bread from the crockpot to mini muffin cups for serving with other desserts at my son’s birthday :). Thank you!
jen says
April 21, 2015 at 1:37 pmDo you bake the rolls in the oven first following the directions on the wrapper and then cut and add to the slow coooker, or are you putting uncooked pieces in the slow cooker?
Heidi says
April 21, 2015 at 4:15 pmHi Jen ~ you won’t bake the rolls first… you’ll be putting uncooked pieces in the slow cooker. Hope that helps! 😉
Stephanie Webb says
March 30, 2015 at 10:01 amHas anyone tried this using a slow-cooker liner in the crockpot when making this? I’m thinking you could just cook it in the crockpot and then lift the whole thing out and turn it onto a plate (and keep the crockpot from getting sticky….?) I’ll re-post when I have a chance to try it, but please let me know if you have done this…

Christy says
November 5, 2014 at 4:03 pmCan you use thawed frozen dinner rolls in place of the grands?
Tonya says
February 10, 2015 at 3:13 pmI make a monkey bread with frozen dinner rolls, let them rise over night then cook. I think this would work but you might have to play around with how long it cooks.
Suzanne says
October 1, 2014 at 8:09 amcan this recipe work for cooking in the oven instead of a crockpot?
Heidi says
October 22, 2014 at 11:24 amHi Suzanne… here’s a delicious similar recipe for Monkey Bread Muffins that can be made in the oven. Enjoy!! 🙂

kara moreland says
September 24, 2014 at 11:49 amDo you think I could cook it on warm all night? That way it’s ready first thing in the morning?
Heidi says
October 22, 2014 at 11:23 amI’m guessing it may get overdone… but if you try, let me know how it goes! 😉

July 24, 2014 at 10:48 pmI am writing from Perth, Australia and was wondering if you could describe the Pilbury Grands Original Biscuits so I can see if I can find something similar here in Australia.
Tiffany says
August 13, 2014 at 9:28 pmSo, The Grands are large biscuits that are wrapped in a tube, in the refrigerated foods section of the store. (Typically, near the milk, butter, cream cheese, etc.) they usually come 5 to a tube, near me at least. I’ve tried similar recipes with frozen biscuits–thaw them completely first, then quarter them and proceed with sugary fun–or, less conveniently but still delicious, you could use your own biscuit dough recipe, then portion out 1 to 2 tbsp dough per piece & roll gently into a ball. (You get a feel for the sizing after a few, and the 1 to 2 tbsp is just so you can decide how big a bite should be for you & yours 🙂 )
And now I’ve written a novel. :/ Sorry.
Anyway, smaller cooks faster, so keep that in mind, too big and they like to stay doughy in the middle. Hope this helps!

Camille says
July 21, 2014 at 7:24 pmWould this work cooking it on high instead of low to get it done faster?
Jen says
September 30, 2014 at 11:20 amThe recipe I saw said cook for 1.5 to 2 hrs on high
Cynthia says
December 20, 2014 at 9:51 amThe recipe posted above says 2.5 on low.
Beth says
July 19, 2014 at 12:14 pmGreat list, thanks for posting! Sometimes I work over 40 hours a week, so the crockpot is my favorite way to cook!
Jess says
July 10, 2014 at 12:47 pmthinking of making this for a work event. Do you think it’s ok to have the crock pot running on warm to keep it’s warm & gooey goodness?
Jess says
July 17, 2014 at 10:31 amSo made this for the work function. I decided to cook it when I arrived. In the oval crockpot, it took about 4 hours on low to get the center cooked completely, but everyone seemed to love it.
thanks 🙂
Jeanette says
June 16, 2014 at 7:31 pmWhen do you add the cream cheese ?
Heidi says
July 5, 2014 at 11:58 pmHi Jeanette ~ you can add the softened room temperature cream cheese for the last 30 minutes or so of cooking time. 😉
Evelyn S says
May 28, 2014 at 9:40 pmDoes this recipe only work with a certain size crockpot? I have a very small one so I’m wondering if it’s okay to use the same measurements and just cook it in many layers in the pot?
Heidi says
June 3, 2014 at 9:30 pmHi Evelyn ~ it will work best and cook most evenly in a 5 – 6 quart Crockpot, with just one layer of the biscuits. Hope that helps!
Joey says
May 22, 2014 at 12:36 pmHave you ever doubled the recipe? Do you think it would work ? Thx! Trying this weekend!
Heidi says
May 22, 2014 at 3:00 pmHi Joey ~ I actually haven’t ever tried doubling it. If you do, let me know how it turns out!
Heather! says
April 18, 2014 at 3:48 pmI just made this. Holy wow incredible amazing!! This is one of the best things to ever come out of my kitchen! I did dress it up with about a third of a can of apple pie filling and about 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, which just sent it over the top awesome. Definitely a keeper…THANK YOU!!
Heidi says
April 18, 2014 at 3:52 pmAww ~ you’re very welcome, Heather! I’m so glad you liked it! I love the fun twist you put on it too… sounds delicious!
Heather says
April 30, 2014 at 8:29 amHeather, did you add the pie filling & walnuts to the crock pot before you cooked it or on top afterwards? I would love to know because that does sound like a delicious twist on the already yummy recipe!
