Friends, have you been around Gather for Bread for awhile? You know how much I love creating pull apart breads. This garlic one has been a top 5 post here on Gather for Bread since it was posted 2 years ago. So that indicates that my friends and readers are lovers of pull apart bread too.

First, it’s fun. I mean who doesn’t love the idea of sharing a loaf of bread with friends? Tearing and sharing as you go. It’s just pure joy.

Secondly. Eat what you need and wrap the rest for later. Sure it won’t look as pretty any more. But it sure says “That was a flippin’ awesome party!” Am I right?!
So today I’m sharing an amazing Chocolate Chunk Cherry Pull Apart Bread. I love cherries and I love chocolate so this was bound to happen. If you’re anything like me though, my brain never stops. It’s always coming up with ‘great’ ideas. Some put to paper, some to the app on my phone, some are so fleeting that they’re never even jotted down. The problem with all these great ideas is implementing them and finding the time to actually make them happen.
Some ideas are too good to let die, and this is one of them. Introducing Chocolate Cherry Pull Apart Bread. It’s based off my recipes for S’mores Pull Apart Bread and Pull Apart Garlic Bread,

Want to know what else makes me happy about this bread? I get to cross another one off the list. Woot! I conquered another bread recipe idea. You see several months ago I created a list of bread recipes that I’d still like to conquer in the kitchen. Some variety of chocolate cherry was on the list.

Classic Monkey Bread
As I type this post I am sitting lakeside enjoying a little time with family and friends. Lake vacations are always a good excuse to pig out on food you wouldn’t normally eat at home, sleep till 10am and enjoy some early afternoon cocktails. Fact: margaritas are better at the lake. Also, did you see the chili cheese fries that I posted on Instagram? Yeah, lake food.
We are feeding a crowd this week, and meals and snacks are all about easy to prepare mouthwateringtreats. These Chocolate Cherry Monkey Bread Muffins make a great breakfast or after dinner treat. Each muffins is made with a chocolate and cherry stuffed biscuits that has been rolled in sugar and drizzled with chocolate.
These pull apart muffinsare so easy to prepare and there are so many combinations of fillings and toppings. For this recipe, I used a can of Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie filling, mini chocolate chips and premade biscuit dough.

For the biscuit dough, I find it easiest it use a home style type biscuit as opposed to a flaky biscuit. The dough is easier to work with. Now let’s walk through the steps to make these muffins.
First you need to roll out the dough into a pancake shape, nice and flat. Then you cut into quarters. I like to use a pizza cutter or something like that to cut through the dough.
To fill the dough, just spoon out some of their cherry pie filling into the center of each quarter and sprinkle with a couple mini chocolate chips. The next step is where you need to be a little quick and agile.

You need to take each corner and fold them in to pinch the ends together. The cherry juice is going to run out the sides, but that’s okay. Just pick up each pouch and gently roll it in some sugar and place into your greased muffin tin. It is best to put the pinched edges facing down or towards the sides of the tin so that they do not burst open when baking.

Each muffins cup fits 3-4 pouches. I prefer to use 3 pouches so the muffins are not too big. If you use 3 pouches for each muffin, then you will get 11 muffins per container of 8 biscuits. For this recipe, I have doubled it to make a larger batch. Making these in a muffin pan makes thesegreat to serve for a party since they are individual servings.
Once the muffins are done cooking, allow them to cool and set for fifteen minutes; this will allow the juices to firm up and it will be easier to get them out of the pan. It is helpful to run a knife around the edges as well.

Since chocolate makes everybody better, I’m have drizzled these with a chocolate ganache. It’s a simple combination of chocolate chips and butter that is melted in the microwave. I prefer to use a piping bag to drizzle the chocolate on top, but a spoon works just fine too.
Serve these Chocolate Cherry Monkey Bread Muffins at your next get together. I am sure your guests will be impressed. They will think you spent hours in the kitchen preparing these, but really, it takes no time at all.

Jumbo Southern Style Biscuits make are the base dough for these muffin tin monkey bread treats. I bought mine from Aldi because they were the cheapest. You get 8 biscuits per tube which comfortably makes 5 muffins.

Cherry Pie Filling is what I used for this recipe. I used Mother's Maid brand which I bought at Dollar Tree. I find this brand is better than the Aldi canned cherries brand. You will only use roughly half the can for this recipe so consider saving it for later or doubling the batch of muffins.

Unsalted Butter is used to butter the biscuits for a golden-brown appeal and buttery flavor. This also helps the granulated sugar stick.
Open the biscuits (this always gives me anxiety-haha) and separate them into 8 biscuits. Using a rolling pin flatten one biscuit and then cut it into 4 quarters.
Using a teaspoon, remove one cherry and place it in the center of the quarter. Carefully fold the edges and place the piece into the greased muffin tin. You will need 5-6 pieces per tin. It is okay if some cherry sauce spills out!

Allow your muffins to cool for at least 5 minutes before carefully running a plastic knife around the edges of the inside of the muffin.
You could also use a crescent dough sheet. It would be a bit of a learning curve to cut the dough into the right shaped pieces but it could be done.
These muffins taste best when eaten the same day. However, if you plan on saving some for later, I suggest freezing them once cooled. I like to store mine vacuum sealed for ultimate freshness. These will last for up to 3 months when frozen properly.
