Valentine Monkey Bread

My personal favorite: Valentine Monkey Bread 💕 Cut flaky biscuits into quarters. Toss all quarters in sugar. Put 4 quarters in a sprayed muffin tin and cook until slightly turning brown (10-15 min). As soon as you take out of oven pour warmed icing (strawberry or your favorite) over monkey bread and top with sprinkles!
