This recipe is from Tasty on Facebook. The recipe called for walnuts but we prefer NC pecans. You must use a Bundt pan and the 16 oz. biscuits or it won’t work.

Ingredients

2
(16 oz.) cans of 8 count biscuits, sliced in half
1
8 oz. cream cheese, cut into 32 pieces
6
oz. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1
cup sugar
2
tsp. cinnamon
1
cup brown sugar
1/2
cup butter
1
cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Flatten out dough and fill with 1 piece of cream cheese and 3-4 morsels. Wrap dough around filling ingredients to form a ball. In a sealed bag, combine sugar and cinnamon then add all the dough. Seal and shake to coat.

In a bowl, combine brown sugar and butter. Microwave for 70 seconds, stirring halfway though and whisk to combine.

Grease a Bundt pan (not a tube pan) with cooking spray. Sprinkle some pecans on the bottom; add 1/3 of the dough balls, and then glaze. Repeat layers until done.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Put a plate on top and flip to invert onto serving plate.
