    Helpful Tips and Tricks

    Recipe Variations and Substitutions

    Leftover Storage

    If you have leftover monkey bread, wrap it in plastic and keep it in the fridge for 3-4 days. But, honestly this is sooo good, it probably won’t last that long. 

    Rewarm your monkey bread before serving and enjoying again.

    Can I Freeze This?

    Yes and that’s a perfect idea. Why not make a double batch of this?! Enjoy some now and freeze the rest for later. 

    Wrap it in plastic wrap and then again with aluminum foil before placing leftovers in a freezer safe container or a freezer safe zip top bag. 

    Frozen Pecan Butterscotch Monkey Bread should last up to 2-3 months. 

    Thaw your frozen bread in the fridge overnight before reheating and serving again. 

    What is the difference between caramel and butterscotch? 

    If you’ve ever wondered what the difference was between butterscotch and caramel, let me enlighten you. It’s pretty simple.

    Butterscotch is made with brown sugar while caramel is made with white sugar. I’m fond of both flavours and use them quite a bit in my baking. 

    Some people use them interchangeably, but they do have different tastes.

    How should I serve this?

    One serving idea is to put a piece in a bowl and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It will melt against the warm butterscotch sauce.

    You can serve this for either breakfast, or dessert. It would go really well with a slice of Caramel Pecan Cheesecake if using it for dessert. 

    This monkey bread would also pair nicely with a pile of Scrambled Egg Casserole to counterbalance all the sweetness from this dessert monkey bread recipe. 

    How long does this take to bake? 

    In general, the recipe bakes in about 40 minutes. Make sure you check the middle since that tends to be the last place that bakes. 

    If you notice it’s looking a little raw still, leave it a bit longer. Everyone’s oven will be different.

    Don’t hesitate to adjust the baking time as you see fit for your personal situation.
