Health benefits of Snickers™-Stuffed Monkey Bread

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated Buttermilk biscuits
16 fun-size Snickers™ candy bars, cut into fourths (from 11.18-oz bag)
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup hazelnut spread with cocoa (from 13-oz jar)

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 °F. Spray 12-cup bundt cake pan with cooking spray. In shallow bowl, stir granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Set aside.
Separate each can of dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into fourths. With hands, press and stretch each piece slightly to make dough round. Place 1 piece of candy in center of each round. Bring sides of dough up and over candy; pinch dough to seal and enclose candy.
Roll dough balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place in pan.
In medium microwavable bowl, microwave peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds; stir until smooth and creamy. Stir in brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; pour over dough.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Run knife around edge of pan to loosen. Turn upside down on serving plate. Cool 5 minutes. Remove pan.
Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave hazelnut spread uncovered on High 30 to 50 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bread.
