We added a stick of butter to a bowl, and put brown sugar into the bowl, and melted the butter in the microwave, and stirred the butter and brown sugar together :) Jacob then poured the butter/brown sugar onto the biscuits in the pan, and it was then time to put the monkey bread into the oven to bake! :) our kitchen began to get that nice cinnamon scent, we love the scent of cinnamon baking :) as the monkey bread was baking, we began to prepare the oatmeal cookie bars :)
my mom gave us a nice box of Welch's grape jelly oatmeal cookie bars mix :) it was nice and easy to prepare too :) we added in butter, and some water, and super stirred it! :) we put the oatmeal cookie bars mix into the baking pan, and then poured the grape jelly packet on top of the oatmeal cookie bars, and then put the cookies into the oven to bake :) We were rocking! :) awesome baking friday spirit, and lots of excitement in the air :) The monkey bread finished baking, it came out really good! :) the oatmeal cookie bars with jelly came out great too! :) We're all digging in! :) i texted Holly to thank her, from us all :) She's so happy we love the monkey bread :) We'll definitely be baking some more soon! :)
