2. Prepare Sugar-Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined. This mixture will add sweetness and a hint of spice to your Monkey Balls.

3. Form Dough Balls: Pinch off portions of the dough to form walnut-sized balls. These will serve as the base for your Monkey Balls.

4. Coat in Butter and Sugar-Cinnamon: Roll each dough ball in melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll the butter-coated ball in the sugar-cinnamon mixture, evenly coating it for that irresistible sweetness.

5. Layer in Pan: Grease a bundt or angel food pan generously with butter. Arrange the coated dough balls in layers, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the pan.

6. Optional Nut Toppings: If desired, sprinkle pecans or walnuts over each layer of dough balls. This step adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to your Monkey Balls.

7. Drizzle Remaining Butter and Sugar: Pour any remaining melted butter and sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top of the dough balls in the pan. This will create a gooey, sweet glaze as the Monkey Balls bake.

8. Allow to Rise: Let the assembled Monkey Balls rise for approximately 10 minutes. This will help them achieve a light and fluffy texture when baked.

9. Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C), and bake the Monkey Balls for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The aroma filling your kitchen will be absolutely irresistible!

10. Invert and Serve: Once baked, remove the Monkey Balls from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a plate while they are still warm. This will allow the gooey glaze to coat the Monkey Balls evenly.

11. Enjoy: Serve your freshly baked Monkey Balls warm and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon-sugar goodness with every bite!

These delightful treats are perfect for any occasion and are guaranteed to be a hit with family and friends alike. Enjoy the magic of Monkey Balls – they’ll disappear before you know it! 🍽️🐒
