Directions:
- Mix together soup, wine, a couple shakes of salt & a couple shakes of Worchester.

MONKEY BREAD
Ingredients:
- 32 oz biscuit dough (2 16 oz containers)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- Dark Chocolate chips
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Cut biscuits in half & cube the cream cheese (32 pieces)
- Flatten each biscuit and place one cube of cream cheese & a few chocolate chips in the center of each. Fold the biscuit dough around the cream cheese and chocolate and form into a ball.
- In a large plastic bag combine white sugar and cinnamon. Add 6-8 dough balls, seal the bag and shake until well-coated. Repeat for the remainder of the stuffed dough pieces.
- In a microwave safe bowl add brown sugar and butter. Microwave on high for 70 seconds – stopping halfway to stir. Remove from microwave and stir until it reaches a caramel consistency.
- In a greased Bundt pan, sprinkle half of the walnuts, half the dough pieces, and drizzle half the caramel glaze. Repeat with remaining walnuts, dough and glaze.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and turn upside down onto a plate to cool for 10 minutes before lifting off the pan (this way the warm glaze runs back through and fully coats all the bread)
