Really easy and very good! Thanks

Perfect sharing for a Christmas party. I chopped sausage and cooked with onions, once cooled added to my layers. Big hit!
Sarah Thompson
BIG HIT!!! LOVED!!!!! Made this monkey bread, and took it to a neighborhood social distancing get together. It was gone within minutes! So simple and easy to make! FIVE STARS!!!!
Stephanie Richardson
I am so pleased with this recipe! Easy and delicious! I had two layers of bread and topped both with jalepino and cheese. Everyone really enjoyed it with our 3 bean chili.
Amanda Gonzalez
Love it. The second, third, fourth and fifth time I made this… I added a lot more pickled jalapeño . Three times as much. Everyone loved it.
James Wood
I made it exactly as shown. It was delicious!
Tyler Williams
Great use of jalapenos. I think next time I’ll add garlic or garlic salt.
Nathan Green
I think the Mexican Monkey is super okay but not too oily at all, and I have not tried one of different kinds of monkey breads yet. 3 stars for sure.
Jenna Forbes
I added pepper jack cheese and it still tasted awesome. Would do this recipe again.
Marie Bird
Made this two ways now, first time I left off the jalapenos, so all family members would eat. I was a little heavy handed with the cheese, and after I put it all in the bundt cake, I put the remaining butter over the top. Second time I used pickled jalapenos, and both times were delicious. Everyone loves this recipe, will be a standard in our house, as it’s simple and quick.
Karen Hogan
Would definitely make it again. Considering adding taco seasoned ground beef the next time!
Jenny Mason
This was a winner! I over did the cheese and jalapenos but it got a lot of praise. I will make this again and add sausage.

Sooooo good ! I used a deep dish pie pan which worked perfectly (center the dough pieces, there will be a inch or so space from the edge of the pan but it spreads out when baking). I also drizzled about 1/4 stick of melted butter over the top dough, than the cheese, bake time was 30 mins. I used canned jalapeños & the bread wasn’t hot / spicy at all. This is such a good & easy recipe to make I’m definitely going to keep it in my recipe file & will be sharing it.

Can I just say WOW?! I thought this recipe was perfect! I would not change anything! Followed recipe, it turned out perfect! Can’t wait for an opportunity to make at a family gathering! Of course it had all of my favorite ingredients; bread, cheese, jalapeños!!
Devin Miller
I took this to a party and everyone loved it and said I needed to bring 2 next time. I used pepper jack cheese and sun dried tomatoes instead of the jalapenos, as I don’t like jalapenos. It had a nice kick without being too hot.
Brian Williams
It’s definitely awesome to add more cheese. It should be perfect when it comes out with a nice gold edge. Such a fun party food. 5/5!
Felicia Peterson

Robert Coleman
Yo big ray, what up with the lack of fava beans? Added some to mine and i was the bomb. #igobananasforfava
Debra Morrison
Easy to make. You can make as spicy as you want. I also added minced onions and have used frozen bread dough/ dinner rolls.
Jamie Hines
Nice recipe, I really like this. I followed advice to cut in to eights, not quarters and tossed them in a bowl full of melted butter. Combinations of fillers are endless.
