S'mores Monkey Bread Ingredients

For the biscuit dough:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

2 sticks unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

For the monkey bread:

Baking spray with flour

1 cup graham crackers

3/4 cup sugar

Prepared biscuit dough

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks

1/2 cup mini marshmallows

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup caramel sauce

For the garnish:

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup chocolate chunks

1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

Mini marshmallows

Chocolate chunks

1/4 cup graham crackers, crushed roughly

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a bundt pan with baking spray.


2. To make biscuit dough: In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Pulse until a sandy dough forms. Stream in cream just until the dough comes together.


3. To make monkey bread: Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, portion out the dough into balls and place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Working one ball at a time, knead dough a few times in your hands and flatten in your palm. Place 4 to 5 chocolate chunks and 2 mini marshmallows in the center of each dough and the fold the dough to create a ball. Continue with the remaining dough. Reserve any remaining chocolate chunks and marshmallows for garnish.


4. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar. Take each ball and dip first into melted butter, and then roll in graham cracker sugar mixture. Distribute balls evenly into bundt pan and then refrigerate for 20 minutes.


5. Then pour a 1/2 cup of caramel sauce all over the monkey balls.


6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.


7. To make ganache: Microwave heavy cream for a minute at a time, until it starts to simmer. Place chocolate chunks in a heat-safe bowl. Pour cream over chocolate, let stand for a minute, and whisk to combine.


8. To make toasted marshmallow fluff: In another small sauce pot over medium heat, melt marshmallow fluff, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the fluff has changed from bright white to a tan color, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.


9. As soon as the bread is done, remove from the bundt pan and allow to cool for an additional 5 minutes on the serving platter.


10. To garnish: Spread ganache over the top of the finished bread, and then drizzle with toasted marshmallow fluff. Sprinkle the top with reserved marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and crushed graham crackers.
