If you recall from previous months, Glutino sets me up monthly with a few goodies in hopes that I’ll share my pleasure with my readers. That isn’t a hard thing with their products, they are wonderful! This month they sent me a variety of their crackers, in addition to their Sandwich Bread Mix. While I would love to rave about their crackers (I was THRILLED with trying their table crackers for the first time, they are just like what I recall saltines to be. Simple, salty and crunchy), I want to share the purpose of the Sandwich Break Mix:

MONKEY BREAD

Now, I’ve never personally had gluten filled monkey bread but I have heard great things, so I was prepared to take it for a spin as my contribution to month’s potluck with my friends since the theme was desserts (more on that in another post). With the Sandwich Bread Mix and their supplied recipe (shared below) in hand, I went at creating my Monkey Bread. It was pretty simple to make, and took very little time.

And the finished product? I was NOT disappointed. It was a moist, gooey, sweet, nutty, and delicious treat which was the hit of the party. The best part? It’s a dessert you can consume with your hands! Can you tell yet that I love getting down and dirty with my fingers in my food? It lets me be carefree, and ‘childish’, if even for a moment so I welcome any opportunity to do so. It isn’t the healthiest of recipes, but sometimes we need to indulge and hey, a dessert potluck is the perfect time to do so! I personally substituted the pecans for walnuts, and the butter for a nondairy alternative. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
