Chocolate Cherry Monkey Bread Muffins

Directions

1. Step 1
   Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease muffin pan.

2. Step 2
   Unroll biscuits from package and roll each biscuit until flattened like a pancake. Cut into quarters.

3. Step 3
   Spoon a bit of cherry fruit filling (one-two cherries) into center of each quarter. Sprinkle with a few mini chocolate chips.

4. Step 4
   Pinch together all four edges to form a pouch. It's OK for juices to ooze out of side. Gently roll in granulated sugar.

5. Step 5
   Place 3 cherry pouches in each muffin cup, with sealed edges facing down or inward (otherwise they will expand and open when baking).

6. Step 6
   Bake at 350° F for 20 minutes until dough turns a light brown color. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges of muffins to help release from pan.

7. Step 7
   Prepare the glaze by combining chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until butter is melted. Stir until completely smooth. If chocolate is too thick, add additional butter. Drizzle over top of muffins.

8. Step 8
   Muffins are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for one day.
