INSPIRATION FOR THIS RECIPE
The inspiration for this S’mores Monkey Bread came from my love for both s’mores and monkey bread. Growing up, s’mores were a staple at every camping trip, and monkey bread was a cherished treat at family gatherings. Combining these two favorites into one dish felt like a natural progression.
I wanted to create a dessert that was not only delicious but also nostalgic and fun to eat. This recipe does just that, bringing the joy of making s’mores around a campfire into the comfort of your home, with the added benefit of cooking it on the Traeger.
INGREDIENTS MAKE IT DELICIOUS
For this recipe, you’ll need two cans of biscuit dough, each biscuit cut into quarters. We stuffed each dough piece with either a piece of Reese’s peanut butter candy or crumbled Oreos for an extra layer of flavor. The biscuit dough is then layered in a greased bundt pan with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crumbled graham crackers.
A mixture of melted butter and brown sugar is poured over the entire assembly before baking it on the Traeger. Once baked, the monkey bread is drizzled with Hershey’s chocolate syrup, making it an irresistible treat.
SIMPLE AND EASY PROCESS
The process of making S’mores Monkey Bread is straightforward and fun. Start by preparing your ingredients: cut the biscuit dough into quarters and stuff them with Reese’s pieces or Oreo crumbles.

Melt butter and mix it with brown sugar, then pour this mixture over the dough layers. Bake the monkey bread on the Traeger at 375°F for 45 minutes until golden and cooked through. Once baked, let it rest for a few minutes before turning it out onto a plate and drizzling it with chocolate syrup.
