Advent {Day 24}: Hot Cocoa Recipe

Today I want to focus on mail carriers. They have one of the hardest jobs this holiday season:
Amist the lousy cold weather that produces horrible driving conditions and makes you want to do nothing but snuggle on the couch with a good movie, They make sure we all get our:

  1. Christmas cards to friends and family on time
  2. packages with the must-have Christmas toy to your house before the big day
  3. not to mention all those silly story fliers so we can find the best deals.

Today I'm sharing my last gift idea that fit perfectly into those adorably miniscule formula containers at minimal cost! Something WARM to help those carriers make it through their days a little cozier.

Monkeybread Breakfast

Totally unhealthy but yum-scrum-diddly-umpsious!

I found this amazingness on Pinterest but adjusted the recipe a little.
I don't think there's a meal I haven't 'adapted' for our family... Anyways; feel free to adjust my recipe:
 
1 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits (I use 'cheap brand')
1.5 Tbsp. margarine, melted
1/4 C. syrup
4 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
 
Spray a pan with non-stick spray. Preheat oven to 375'
Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top.
Tare the biscuits 4ths (ball them up if ya want) and make a layer on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges (closely together)
Top with syrup and sugar mixtures. Then make another layer of balled biscuits, syrup and sugar mixtures.
Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then invert onto a serving platter and enjoy!
You really need to try these soon!! Maybe for Christmas breakfast??? It's a good excuse to eat completely unhealthy. Enjoy!
