Yep. That's what I vaguely remember. (It's been a while.) Used to use refrigerated (buttermilk) biscuits, but made two rows. That would fill the pan more. One was Gorilla bread - each biscuit had a pat of cream cheese in the center. Another, was an Italian Monkey Bread. The biscuits were dunked in melted butter, Italian seasoning & parmesan cheese.
Chocolate-Filled Monkey Bread (drizzled with chocolate)
This one is made w/ frozen halved dinner rolls (pressed/flattened in circles), fillled w/ chocolate chips, sealed, & dipped in melted butter & brown sugar.
