Every once in a while (or, if you’re like me lately, every few days) a time comes in a person’s life when splurging is simply the requirement of the day. Your day’s splurge might be thanks to the blues, a celebration, hormones, boredom, entertaining, or any number of worthy (or unworthy) reasons…. but if you’re going to do it, you wanna do it up RIGHT.

Periodically, I happen upon a splurge so good that I want to share it here, but then I think to myself: ;Self, this is not a healthy recipe! What will all the readers who look to you as a good example of fitness and diet savvy think?; But after a few recent splurges too-good-to-withhold, I have decided that from time to time, I’ll share a favorite naughty recipe with y’all - because you deserve it! I mean, why should you suffer because of my guilt? It’s just too delicious to be nutritious!

To kick it off - my newest obsession….

MONKEY BREAD

This melty, gooey, bready goodness is super easy to make and packs a major punch on a breakfast buffet or dessert platter. But beware, this stuff is mad addictive, and you should probably cover your lap with a napkin - both because this stuff is so ooooeygooey and drippydroppy, and to also hide the oft-embarrassing foodboner you’re sure to pop when enjoying it!

Ingredients:

• 4 cans refrigerated biscuits (I prefer the flakey kind)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

Pre-heat oven to 350. Pull your biscuits apart and rip into smaller pieces (roughly 4 per biscuit). Try not to eat too much of the raw biscuit dough, like I always do! Mix your biscuit bits with the cinnamon and white sugar and pack into a buttered bundt pan. In the meantime, heat the brown sugar and butter together until melted, and pour over the top of the biscuit mix in the pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, let cool, and invert onto plate. Enjoy!

This shiz is too yummy to not try! You can easily make smaller batches, using a loaf pan and only 1 can of biscuits and a shorter cook time. Just eyeball the cinnamon, sugar, and butter amounts. It’s not a perfect science, if you like it more or less sweet/gooey, do it up to your tastes!

So, there you have it, your first taste of temptation. It’s eeeeevil, like fru-its of the dev-il! But, oh so mouthwateringly irresistible!

What’s your favorite food splurge?
