Sinful Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread
It's October so I'm craving the smells of Fall today.  This is what I have come up with to cure my craving--- Monkey Bread made with cinnamon rolls..... oh yeah this would not fall under a diet tab today.  Hold onto your hats, I'm gonna blow you away with this one.

1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cinamon divided
2 cans Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls 8ct
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisens
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon roll icing-- from the rolls-- set aside.

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease 12 cup tube pan.

In a large Ziplock bag mix sugar and 1 tsp  cinnamon.  Separate dough into 16 rolls, cut each onle int quarters.  Shake bag to coat.  Arrange in pan, add walnuts and raisens among the roll pieces.

Mix brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon and butter; pour over cinnamon roll pieces.

Bake 28-32 min or until golden brown and not doughy in the center.  Cool in pan 10 min.  Turn upside down onto serving plate.  Warm the pakhaged icing in the microwave briefly (20-30 sec) and drizzle over the bread.  Pull apart to serve.

Serve warm.
