I fixed this for a Hispanic family. Everyone enjoyed it & I even passed on the recipe to someone. I fixed it the nite before, refrigerated it & let it sit out for about 1 hour. Even then it was still chewy inside each bite!

MAJOR NOMMAGE! Wow, we couldn't keep our paws off this delicious and easy snack. I used finely chopped pistachios for the optional nuts and halved the recipe, using a round medium-sized Pyrex dish as it's all I have that's semi-suitable. I think I cooked it a bit too long, forgetting to take into account that the mass was significantly smaller than the original recipe, but it was still absolutely divine as is. Parts of the buttery sugar caramelized and turned crunchy and... well, SINFUL, despite what my lame photograph of the yummy lumpage depicts. *lol* Thank you so much for this great guilty pleasure, Karen!

Fabulous and easy. I agree with Lulu... it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes. I had mixed the nuts and sugar and cinnamon up the night before (in a ziploc bag which made coating the biscuits and cleanup easy!) and baked the bread the next morning. It took about 5 minutes per can of biscuits bearing in mind that I cut them in half so that added a bit of time. I made a couple of adjustments to the recipe: Used 2 teaspoons of cinnamon because I like LOTS of cinnamon flavor and this just didn't quite seem like enough. Also, I cut the biscuits in half so I could capture more of the cinnamon mixture and this seemed just perfect. I used pecans for the nuts. Also, I'm a sucker for a glaze so mixed one up with 2 T. melted butter, 1 T. plus 1 teasp. hot water, 1 teasp. vanilla and one cup of powdered sugar. Mixed this all together in a pyrex measuring cup (in which I had melted the butter in the microwave) then drizzled it all over the bread after it was baked and removed to a serving plate. YUM!! Baked it in a tube pan for 45 minutes and it came out perfect. Can I just say that this was an absolute hit at work this morning? I brought it in for my department and noticed some "outsiders" coming into our area for no "apparent" reason! Ha! Thanks for sharing!

This was such a wonderful breadfast for us. I did add a pkg of butterscotch pudding to the cinnamon sugar mixture (something my mom always did) but otherwise followed your recipe. My family loved it. Thank you for sharing a family memory with us.
