This is one of those products I was always curious about and I know a bunch of you out there were too. So will this Bridgford Monkey Bread live up to the hype?

    It was originally called Monkey Brains but was changed to not creep people out. Its basically biscuits, cinnamon, butter and sugar.

  • Frustrated

    You should talk a whole lot less–shutup and eat it! A lot of my time just to see what the hell it tastes like…And you kept saying the same crap over and over again. We get it-it's cinnamon…it's pull apart…

    Have you ever had the cinnamon melts at McDonalds, it is quite similar to the cinnamon monkey bread.

    Monkey bread, also called sticky bread, African coffee cake, golden crown, pinch-me cake, bubbleloaf and monkey brainsis a sticky, gooey pastry served in the United States for breakfast.[1] The origin of the term monkey bread is uncertain. Possible etymologies include that the bread resembles the monkey puzzle tree,[2] or the act of several people pulling at the bread is reminiscent of monkey behavior.[citation needed] Recipes for the bread first appeared in American women’s magazines and community cookbooks in the 1950s, and the dish is still virtually unknown outside the United States. The bread is made with pieces of sweet yeast dough (often frozen) which are baked in a cake pan at high heat after first being individually covered in melted butter, cinnamon, sugar and chopped pecans.[3] It is traditionally served hot so that the baked segments can be easily torn away with the fingers and eaten by hand.

    I think monkey bread is a jewish thing.  Had it at a jewish wedding once and at a bar mitzvah, but maybe its an east coast thing?  I think MONKEY refers to the “pull apart” aspect.  Like that
