Monkey bread filled with chocolate and cream cheese. You can use refrigerated biscuits if you want, but I personally like biscuits that didn't come in a can, and using pizza dough allows it to get soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. No, this is not low calorie

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350 f
2

Grease a regular size muffin tin
3

Break dough off into small pieces, and flatten them into about 2 inch circles with your hands. Add a cube of cream cheese and a few chocolate chips in the middle. Pinch edges to form a ball so chocolate and cream cheese are completely covered
4

Repeat until you have used all the pizza dough.
5

Melt butter in a bowl, set aside
6

Combine cinnamon and brown sugar in another bowl.
7

To assemble the muffins roll the individual balls in the butter and then the cinnamon sugar. Press into the muffin pan. You should be able to fit about 4 balls in each tin.
8

Divide the remaining cinnamon sugar among the muffins. Pour the remaining melted butter evenly over the muffins
9

Bake for about 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown on the outside

To make the glaze add a handful of chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Add a splash of milk and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir the powdered sugar and vanilla in. Drizzle over muffins
