Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
2 (12-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits (10 count)
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring well; set aside. Cut the cream cheese into 20 equal cubes. Press the biscuits out with your fingers and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each biscuit, wrapping and sealing the dough around the cream cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the nuts into the bottom of the bundt pan. Place half of the prepared biscuits in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, pour half of the melted butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle on 1/2 cup of nuts. Layer the remaining biscuits on top, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar, pour the remaining butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of nuts. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Place a plate on top and invert.

A Keeper!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Oh my heavens this is delicious!! Thank you Paula. Just another wonderful Paula Deen recipe! My kids loved it, and my husband... ate half as soon as he woke up, lol. The cream cheese inside is a little too much. I will lessen it next time, but otherwise, incredible!Read more

Follow the recipe exactly the first time...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I usually follow the recipe exactly as is the first time, but this time I decided to use the suggestion of other reviewers... and cut back on the amount of cream cheese. My mistake...It was way too sweet. Adding the 1/2 ts. sugar to each biscuit before the cream cheese balances everything out. So if you cut down on the amount of cream cheese I would leave the sugar out of the inside of the biscuit. It was still delicious, but very sweet and I no one could taste the cream cheese. Read more

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We love this Bread, the only thing I do different is sweeten the cream cheese so it's not so strong!

extra goodness
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe -- except the nuts! I make it as often as I can. Instead of just cream cheese, I put Hershey Kisses or... carmels inside of the biscuits. It's a surprise with each bite! Delicious!Read more
