Slow Cooker Monkey Bread

I have not been in the kitchen much lately, but I did want to make a something simple and sweet for us. I have had this Slow Cooker Monkey Bread on my to-do list for a while now. The slow cooker is my go to when I need a little hand in the kitchen, and the sweetness of this monkey bread is just what we were craving right now.

I usually make monkey bread with yeast rolls, but the canned biscuits intrigued me.

The butter and cinnamon sugar coated biscuit pieces bake up into the most decadent and rich bites.

These monkey bread bites are so rich, I did not find a need to add a cream cheese or sugar glaze to this recipe.  This Slow Cooker Monkey Bread delivers on the thick and rich syrup of buttery cinnamon sugar decadent bites.
