- 2 cans (8-count each) Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder , divided
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , melted
- ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (85g) chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup fluted bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray (I like using the kind with flour in it).
Open the cans of biscuits and slice each biscuit into 6 pieces. Place the granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in a large gallon size ziploc bag. Add the biscuit pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat.
Mix melted butter, brown sugar, salt (if using) and remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa in a small bowl.
Place half the coated biscuit pieces in the prepared pan. Top with half the chocolate chips and half the butter mixture. Repeat a second layer of biscuits, chocolate chips, and butter mixture.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the top is very brown and the center isn’t too jiggly. The top will get crusty so you’ll want to take it out when it’s still a little jiggly in the center so the top doesn’t burn.
Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Place a serving plate over the pan and invert the pan, tap the top a few times and pray that the whole thing comes out in one piece. If it doesn’t, just stick the pieces back together, no one will know!
Note: do not let this cool completely in the pan or it becomes like a rock and it will be very hard to clean your pan!
Serve as an indulgent breakfast or dessert. For extra chocolate flavor, top with chocolate sauce.
