NEW, CHEAP, AWESOME Recipe...OMGoodness!!

So, I have an E-cookbook on my computer that I have created over the last 8 years or so.  I haven't cooked everything in it yet but it all looks fantastic!  I was cleaning up the folders in the cookbook last night because I'm OCD (it happens) and I came across a recipe that is relatively new to me - within the past 6 months. 
Monkey Bread Minis  If I could find a way to put a spotlight on those 3 words in this post I sure would!  Talk about GOOD and SINFUL!  Wow!  After my hubby ate his first one, he asked where I got them from.  I told him I made them and he was impressed!  Now, I'm a decent cook anyway and Rich LOVES my cooking so that wasn't meant to be a dig at me!  lol  Anyway, I MUST share this recipe with you guys...let me know what you think!  I have included the price breakdown below the recipe.  You're gonna be amazed like I was!!

Remember, He IS ALIVE!  The tomb is empty!!

Praising my Savior,
Joy

Monkey Bread Minis

INGREDIENTS: 

½ cup butter or margarine, melted
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cans (7.5 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated biscuits
*I added about 1/4 c of chopped pecans*

DIRECTIONS:
  • Grease or spray 12 regular-size muffin cups. Mix butter and brown sugar; spoon 1 tablespoon mixture into each muffin cup.  *I added a sprinkle of pecans on top of this - honestly only about 1/2 of a pecan.
  • Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in 1-gallon bag. Separate dough into 20 biscuits; cut each in 6 pieces. Shake pieces in bag to coat. Place 10 pieces in each muffin cup.
  • Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; turn upside down (I didn't do this). Serve warm.**I used my tiny scraper and got every little speck of yummy out of each muffin well.
