<br><br>
<br><br>CHEW THE RIGHT THING 
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>BITE IT! 
<br><br>HG's Swingin' Cinna-Monkey Bread Singles 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Monkey Business  
<br><br>Gooey. Sweet. Sticky. Delicious. Clearly, these are all good things... 
<br><br>especially when they're describing guilt-free monkey bread. Check it out!
<br><br>
<br><br>Ingredients:
<br><br>3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated), divided
<br><br>2 tsp. cinnamon, divided
<br><br>2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
<br><br>2 tbsp. sugar-free pancake syrup
<br><br>2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
<br><br>1 package Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet
<br><br>1/2 tsp. baking powder
<br><br>
<br><br>Directions:
<br><br>Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
<br><br>
<br><br>Mix 1 tbsp. Splenda and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a large bowl or container. Set 
<br><br>aside. Spray six cups of a muffin pan with nonstick spray, and set pan aside 
<br><br>as well.
<br><br>
<br><br>Place a small pot on the stove, but do not heat it. Add butter, syrup, brown 
<br><br>sugar, 2 tbsp. Splenda, and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Leave this on the unheated 
<br><br>stove, to be melted and mixed later on. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Roll out the dough on a clean dry surface, and sprinkle evenly with baking 
<br><br>powder. Gently smooth baking powder into the sheet with your fingers.
<br><br>
<br><br>Cut dough sheet widthwise into six strips equal in size. Cut each strip into 
<br><br>four squares. Roll each square into a ball, for a total of 24 dough balls.
<br><br>
<br><br>Place 12 dough balls in the bowl with the Splenda-cinnamon mixture. Lightly 
<br><br>toss to coat, and then place them gently in the muffin pan, with four dough 
<br><br>balls in each of three cups. No need to press the dough balls into the pan -- 
<br><br>just let them fall naturally. Repeat with remaining dough balls, so that each 
<br><br>of the six muffin cups contains four coated dough balls. Set aside.
<br><br>
<br><br>Bring the small pot on the stove to medium heat. Stirring frequently, heat 
<br><br>just until butter has melted and contents are mixed well. Evenly spoon the 
<br><br>butter mixture over the dough balls. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until puffy and firm. Allow to cool 
<br><br>slightly, and then plate and enjoy!

<br><br>FIGHT IT! 
<br><br>Monkey Dread  
<br><br>
<br><br>Monkey bread tastes fantastic. Not exactly shocking, is it? Gooey balls of 
<br><br>dough are coated in butter, sugar, and cinnamon, and then baked until 
<br><br>golden brown. You'd have to be crazy not to like it. However, you'd have to 
<br><br>be CRAZIER to add the stuff into regular rotation. That much butter, sugar, 
<br><br>and biscuit dough can get you into trouble FAST. The average serving of 
<br><br>monkey bread has well over 400 calories and a whopping 20 grams of fat 
<br><br>(more or less, depending on size, if there are nuts and/or raisins involved, 
<br><br>etc.). That's NOT cool, especially since it's not a meal in itself. In fact, it's far 
<br><br>from it. Our recipe follows a formula similar to the original, only we use HG-
<br><br>friendly ingredients. It's so good, you'll wanna, um... scream, scratch 
<br><br>yourself, and swing from tree branches?! By the way, does anyone out there 
<br><br>know why this stuff is called monkey bread? (We could Google it, but we're 
<br><br>too busy chewing our Swingin' Cinna-Monkey Bread Singles.)
