Monkey bread

Monkey bread is a pull-apart coffee/dessert cake type thing, made by baking small pieces of white bread dough in a sugar and butter sauce. Some people add cinnamon, nuts or raisins, and, for some strange reason, some people use margarine instead of butter.
Has anyone tried it? Is it sort of like extra gooey cinnamon rolls? I've been on a caramel kick recently, and the youtube videos of that caramelized sauce lovingly clinging to the fluffy sweet buns make my mouth water. But when I think of trying out the recipe, it doesn't really seem worth it compared to just buying a single cinnamon roll in the store.

Thank you for telling me about it. I'll probably stick with cinnamon rolls, spare myself both effort and disappointment.

I think I need to go start supper, otherwise I'm going to end up eating something unhealthy, I'm all hungry now :o)
