Monkey Bread

3 pkgs of buttermilk biscuit tubes
1 c sugar (divided)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 c butter
½ c brown sugar
½ c pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

Prepare (grease) a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray. Evenly distribute the nuts around the pan. Mix cinamon and sugar in a shallow dish.
Take 3 packages of buttermilk biscuit tubes (10 per roll) and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Drop roll pieces into 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Drop sugar-coated pieces into Bundt pan (don't squish roll pieces when placing them in the Bundt pan).
Put 1/2 cup of the left-over sugar/cinnamon mix and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) into a small saucepan.
Bring this mixture just to a boil; remove from heat immediately. Carefully drizzle over the roll pieces.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Cool slightly in an upright position, then tip pan over onto a plate to remove monkey pull-apart bread.
