Gorilla Bread

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Gorilla Bread

½ cup sugar 

3 tsp. cinnamon

½ cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

8 oz pkg cream cheese

2 (12 oz.) cans refrigerated biscuits (ten count)

1 1/2 cups chopped nuts

Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.  In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring well; set aside.  Cut the cream cheese into 20 equal cubes (one cube per biscuit).  Flatten each biscuits with your fingers and sprinkle with ½ tsp. of cinnamon sugar each.  Place a cube of cream cheese on the center of each biscuit and wrap the biscuit around the cheese and seal the dough.  Sprinkle 1/3 of the optional nuts in the bottom of the bundt pan.  Place 10 biscuits on top of the nuts.  Sprinkle biscuits with ½ the remaining cinnamon sugar and half of the brown sugar mixture.  Sprinkle with another 1/3 of the nuts.  Then layer the last ten biscuits over the nuts, sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar, remaining brown sugar mixture and remaining nuts.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.  Place a plate on top of bundt pan and invert to serve.
