Chocolate Chip Crescent Roll Monkey Bread

Buttery, full of cinnamon and chocolate, Chocolate Chip Crescent Roll Monkey Bread makes an easy breakfast recipe. This is a tasty and quick way to enjoy monkey bread for breakfast.

This recipe has evolved from traditional monkey bread made with biscuits to being made with crescent rolls to adding chocolate chips. This evolution is thanks to my boys. They kept talking over breakfast and changing the traditional monkey bread. I’m actually just fine with that. They have given me a lot of great ideas to share on Call Me PMc.

Chocolate Chip Crescent Roll Monkey Bread

I make this monkey bread recipe in individual portions in ramekins because my boys said, “This feels gourmet when you make it in these cups.”

Hey, they eat better when food is in individual portions so I’m all for it!

If you google “monkey bread”, you’ll see a lot of different ways to make it. This is my version. As well, I like to bake this pull-apart bread in ramekins. This cuts down on the cooking time which is great for weekday breakfasts.

Chocolate Chip Crescent Roll Monkey Bread is buttery, chocolatey and full of cinnamon. I love pull-apart bread. Furthermore, the top gets crispy while there is always extra butter, chocolate, and cinnamon at the very bottom. That’s the equivalent to frosting on a cake!

As well, this recipe is a sweet, gooey, and a sinful treat. There’s just something about eating foods with your hands that makes them better! Do you agree?
