I recently made the gorilla bread for a family get together. I wanted something that would be different, but not so different that my traditional family wouldn't eat. Made as is, this recipe turned out wonderfully! It was devoured in a flash and I will definitely be making this again.

made the gorilla bread as it looked more interesting, but even cooking it for 40+ minutes in a very good oven there were large spots where it was raw in the middle. i would like toask anyone out there if they could help rework this recipe, as it seems like both monkey and gorilla can't use the same oven settings/time cooking. thanks!
