Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 4 cans refrigerated biscuits (7.5 oz per can, we used Pillsbury brand)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick or 4 oz)
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon spiced rum (optional)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray a large bundt pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Melt the butter, rum and the brown sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat until it has formed a sauce, then set aside while you prepare the biscuits.
  • While the sauce is cooking, separate all of the biscuits from each other, then cut each one into four pieces
  • Combine the granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a gallon-sized zip lock bag and shake (with the bag closed please) until well mixed, then add in all the biscuit pieces and seal the bag. Shake around until all of the pieces are coated in the cinnamon-sugar.
  • Place all of the biscuit pieces into the prepared bundt pan. (If desired, distribute the dark chocolate chips evenly among the biscuits at this step.)
