What’s the best chocolate for making S’mores?

Of course, plain old Hershey’s milk chocolate candy bars are classic and there’s a reason for that! They are thin enough to melt easily just from the temperature of the toasty marshmallow. Milk chocolate melts better than semi-sweet chocolate so it’s a great choice!

You can also get creative and try using peanut butter cups, mint patties, add Oreo’s, or any other type of candy bar!

Feel free to customize S’mores Monkey Bread by switching up the chocolate too! It will take on a fun new flavor and who knows? It just might be your favorite!

How to thaw Rhodes Rolls?

I always use method #1 for making monkey bread. Remember, we’re only thawing them until they are soft enough to cut for this recipe!

1. Set Rhodes rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with greased plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature until doubled in size. Usually about 4 hours but will depend on room temperature.
2. Set rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with greased plastic wrap. Set in refrigerator overnight, or for about 8 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 200 degrees then turn oven off. Set rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with greased plastic wrap. Set a pan of boiling water on the bottom rack of oven. Place pan with rolls on top rack in oven. Close door. Let sit for about an hour.

Monkey bread with yeast rolls vs. Monkey bread with biscuits

There are obviously pros and cons to both, however I’m in the yeast rolls camp ALL. THE. WAY.

Biscuits in a can are faster, require less planning ahead, and are easier to use because all you need to do is pop a can open and you’re there.

BUT…using Rhodes frozen dough is super EASY too! Yes, you must plan a little farther in advance than 5 minutes before you want to make S’mores Monkey Bread. But it’s so worth it! You still don’t have to bust out the stand mixer and make homemade bread, yet no one will know you didn’t! You just can’t beat that!

When to serve S’mores Monkey Bread

Monkey bread, or pull apart bread, is typically served for breakfast! To turn it into and overnight breakfast recipe assemble it all the way through step 9. Cover it with greased plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. All that’s left is making the caramel sauce and baking it in the morning.

Because this recipe is so decadent it also makes a fantastic s’mores dessert! If you want to up your sugar intake it would be divine dipped in my homemade chocolate sauce! You’re welcome!

My boys are finally out of school for the summer! HOORAY! Now they back to work full time on the farm and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Last week we had so much rain, then it got warm and created a hard as a rock crust in the corn fields. Unfortunately, the corn hasn’t popped through the ground and isn’t strong enough to bust though the hard crust. So, Carson gets to drive this old school, unairconditioned tractor through about 300 acres of fields!

Whatever you have your kids busy doing, enjoy them!
