Melt it in the microwave. I did mine for 35 seconds. There will still be clumps of brown sugar, but just stir them around to get rid of them.

In a separate bowl mix the sugar and ground cinnamon. You can use as much as you want, depending on the amount of monkey bread you're making. There should be much more sugar than cinnamon, though!

Place them in your cooking bowl that has the butter and brown sugar. Put them in the microwave! I put mine in for one minute and 20 seconds. You can do it longer if you want them to be thicker.

Yes I did it in the microwave. :) the oven is definitely an option, but I've never made mine that way, so I'm not sure how long it should be in there for!

So place it in the microwave and not the oven? Is the oven a option? 😊

Well it is? I know it's not dark, maybe that's what makes it look not finished? Someone up there said she made it too and that it worked out fine! :)
