Chocolatey and crunchy, sweet and salty, Chocolate Pretzel Monkey Bread is fun to eat and a delicious dessert. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce for a delectably sweet treat!
Monkey bread is all the rage in my house these days. The boys love taking biscuit dough and coming up with all kinds of tasty ideas!
And who can blame them? The biscuit dough is a great complement for all kinds of sweet flavors, from caramel to cinnamon sugar to chocolate and more.
This one is my current favorite desert recipe because of the crunchy and salty dimensions added by the pretzels that juxtapose perfectly with the tender chewy biscuit dough. I am all about combining sweet and salty, it is one of my favorite dessert flavor combos!
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with the Best Homemade Chocolate Sauce, and you have a delectably delicious dessert that will be a huge hit with everyone who tries it!
The only problem with this monkey bread is that it only lasts about 10 minutes in my house! 😆

Hi Kristin,
Wonderful pictures! I am all in for the sweet and salty combination, so this is for me.
However, as I live in Germany, what exactly is biscuit dough? Biscuit as in British cookie? I think I would have to make that from scratch. Would a sweet yeast dough be the best replacement?
Best, Jenny

Hi Jenny, in the U.S. we can buy prepared biscuit dough in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Here is a link to the product I used so you can see what I mean: http://amzn.to/2u6TydM (affiliate link). Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Hey Kristin, this monkey bread looks amazing. I will have to try it but I’m not sure if I’ll get the presentation to look as good as your pictures. I’ll see if the kids at our childcare franchise like it and turn it into a regular dessert item. Thanks for the awesome recipe with specific cook times!
