#Chocolate4TheWin apple bread brown sugar candy caramel chocolate cinnamon dessert kid-friendly recipe sweets

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey Bread

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadWell, here we are.. a little over halfway through August. In my house that means we’re on the second week of back to school season for our older kids but it also means that football is underway. For our high schooler, football practice has been going on since June, but very soon the high school football games will be underway and for a houseful of (mostly) boys, this is their favorite time of year. It’s not just the high school football either, since the preseason for NFL games just began last week and that just means that Fall is just around the corner.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey Bread

When I think of the Autumn season, football every weekend is one of my first thoughts. It’s also hot apple cider, harvest festivals, and the delicious smell of Fall favorites like cinnamon and brown sugar. Pies, cookies, crumbles and all my other favorites are keeping kitchen ovens busy and the brisk Fall weather is admittedly a favorite of mine. It’s no secret that this is the time of year I love, and with the hustle and bustle of football practice and big games on the tv we often have a variety of friends to entertain as well. Even if we are just relaxing watching all the Sunday games, these boys want some snacks that are more than just chips and dips. Last year I posted a few favorites to chomp on while watching some football (check out the spinach bowl, potato skins, 7 layer dip, pulled pork and baked beans) but I inadvertently left out sweets! I think it’s also safe to say that my boys have a MAJOR sweet tooth so I came up with a perfect snack for the football season. It combines the caramel apple favorites of harvest season with the cinnamon scents that are synonymous with Fall. As a surprise I threw in everyone’s favorite SNICKERS® candy and reworked a favorite pull apart bread of ours into some delectable. I served it with some of our other favorite snacks like chips, dips and and assortment of miniature MARS Candy on the side.

Of course it was a hit and I guarantee it will be a hit on game days  for you too!

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadWhat I love about this recipe, besides all of the delicious Fall flavors, is that when it comes out of the oven the bread looks toasty and the SNICKERS® have all melted away leaving behind nuts and swirls of chocolate that taste just like little bites of the candy. When you invert the pan over a serving plate, all of the caramel comes dripping down and it’s ooey gooey and sticky. SCORE!

Ingredients:

  • non stick baking spray
  • 2 cans Pillsbury homestyle buttermilk refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (either store bought or homemade)
  • 2-3 medium granny smith green apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups, once diced)
  • 1 cup PLUS 1 tablespoon brown sugar *divided
  • 2 teaspoons PLUS 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon *divided
  • 5 regular sized SNICKERS®, sliced (measuring about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadSpray your bundt pan with a non stick baking spray, preferable with flour combined in the spray.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadOpen two cans of Pillsbury biscuits and quarter each slice of biscuit. Set aside.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadPeel the apples, then dice them up until there is about 2 cups of diced apples. Combine 1 tablespoon of brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and toss the apples in the mixture. Set aside.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadSlice up the SNICKERS® bars, measuring out about 2 cups of cut candy. Set aside.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadPour about 1/3 cup of caramel sauce in the bottom of the bundt pan.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadTop with about 1-2 tablespoons of chopped apples, then finishing with about 1 tablespoon of chopped SNICKERS®.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadCombine the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar with the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Set next to the melted butter, this will be the dipping station setup. Dip each quartered biscuit in the melted butter, being sure to soak all sides. Then dip in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadPlace in the bottom of the pan on top of the caramel, apples and candy. Be sure to arrange them so they are spread out evenly. Continue this process until about 20 pieces of biscuits are spread into the pan. Spread about half of the remaining apples on top, then about half of the candy. Top with another 1/3 cup of caramel sauce.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadBegin the process again by soaking each biscuit in butter, then cinnamon sugar and spreading evenly over the other layers.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadOnce you’ve gotten about halfway through the remaining biscuits, top with most of the apples, and most of the candy. Drizzle with the last 1/3 cup of caramel sauce.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadRepeat the process one last time soaking the biscuits in butter, then cinnamon sugar. Top with the last of the apples and candy, then drizzle with a little bit more caramel if you like.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadPlace the pan on top of a cookie sheet topped with foil to catch any spills (it WILL bubble over!) and bake for about 40-45 minutes.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadOnce done, let cool for about 30-45 minutes before inverting over a plate or cake dish.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadFor a sweet treat, serve with ice cream.. or just munch on it by pulling the pieces off one by one.

Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey BreadEnjoy!

Oh, by the way, I found an AMAZING deal on all of this candy when I was shopping at Sam’s Club last weekend. Somehow, I just happened to be shopping in the candy aisle and found this huge bag of assorted MARS Candy, right along with this big box of regular sized SNICKERS® chocolate bars that I used in this recipe. I guess because I know it’s football season and we’ll be having a lot of company in the coming months for football parties and after practices and games, it was only logical I bought them all up. If your logic works like mine, then you can find these in the candy aisle at Sam’s Club. You’re welcome!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
