Rainbow Monkey Bread Sticky Rolls

I have always loved rainbows! They are like a happy ending after a rainstorm! I knew I had to enter and really thought about what I could do for this Rainbow Instructables Challenge. I had a can of refrigerated biscuits in my refrigerator so I starting thinking how I could make rainbow rolls using them. When you make traditional Monkey Bread, you cut each of the biscuits into fourths, roll it in cinnamon sugar and you layer them in a bundt pan. Since there are 6 colors in the rainbow, I thought I could cut each biscuit into pieces and roll them in 6 colors of powdered gelatin to make rainbow rolls! I think they turned out very pretty and very tasty too! Here is how you can make them.

6 very small bowls

cereal size microwaveable bowl

spoon

sharp knife

muffin tin

6 boxes of flavored gelatin: one red, one orange, one yellow, one green, one blue and one purple

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated original biscuits

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray 8 muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray.

Pour each color of gelatin powder into its own small bowl.

Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut one into 8 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball.

Roll each ball in a different color of gelatin to coat.

Arrange in one muffin cup.

Repeat and cut each of the remaining 7 biscuits. Roll into balls. Roll each ball in a different color of gelatin to coat and place in the coated muffin cups.

In the cereal sized microwaveable bowl, melt the butter in a microwave oven.

Add the brown sugar to the melted butter; stir to blend.

Spoon butter mixture over biscuit pieces in muffin pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan for 5 minutes.

Loosen and remove by running a knife around the entire edge. Lift out each roll and turn so the bottom sticky side is the top.

Now they are ready to serve for breakfast or for an any time treat! Your family or your guests will love the unusual rainbow colors, the subtle flavors of the gelatin and the warm sticky goodness of each roll!
