Ingredients
Ingredients
butter, softened
1 tablespoon (for greasing pan, can use more depending on bundt pan size)
refrigerated biscuits
4 cans (10 count each) (each biscuit halved)
butter, melted
1/4 lb (for dipping biscuit balls)
sugar
1 cup (for coating)
cinnamon
1 tablespoon (for coating)
finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup (for coating)
coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup (for coating)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (or 350°F if using a glass bundt pan).
2
Generously grease the bundt pan with the softened butter, ensuring all crevices are coated to create a sticky finish.
3
Take each biscuit half and roll it into a smooth ball; allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
4
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and both finely and coarsely chopped pecans until well blended.
5
Dip each biscuit ball in the melted butter until fully coated, then roll them in the sugar mixture to ensure a delightful sweetness on each piece. (You can batch dip several biscuit balls for efficiency.)
6
Begin layering the buttered and sugared biscuit balls in the prepared bundt pan, stacking them as you go. If you have any remaining melted butter and sugar mixture, combine it and drizzle over the layered dough.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
9
Spoon the vanilla frosting in dollops on top of the warm bread, allowing it to melt and cascade down the sides for a decedent finish. The icing will create a delicious dipping sauce at the bottom—perfect for sharing!
