This Butterscotch Caramel Monkey Bread took about 2 hours in my slow cooker but be sure to check on it earlier if your machine runs on the hotter side.

When you’re ready to enjoy, drizzle somemore caramel sauce or cream cheese glaze and you’ve got one ultimate breakfast perfect for any occasion.

    I made this today for Easter breakfast, and it was awesome! My slow cooker must be quite hot because they were done after 1 hr (on low). I cut the rounds in half before rolling them and I think next time I will cut them in quarters. I had lots of melted butter left over after dipping, so I drizzled a bit more on top and sprinkled more of the powder mix on before adding the caramel topping. It was gone in a flash for four people! I wonder If this would work out using 4 cans and doing a second layer?
    Thanks so much for a great recipe!

      Oh, and for people who are wondering, you do indeed need to use the paper towel under the lid of the slow cooker. I couldn’t believe all the condensation!
