Monkey Bread Bites

Monkey Bread Bites is a solar cooking recipe. It seems that we now live in a world that wants everything made into little bite size pieces. We used to buy the largest watermelon in the stack, but now prefer to buy the watermelon cut up in to pieces. Apples, carrots, and other fruits and veggies can now be purchased already washed and cut and sealed into individual serving bags. Yogurt and ice cream can be purchased in single serve containers instead of large family size containers. The concept of bite size pieces works perfectly in the context of solar cooking because smaller pieces of food cook faster.  And these Monkey Bread bites are perfect for the solar oven.

Monkey Bread Bites begins with canned biscuits. Large biscuits or small biscuits — it doesn’t really matter because you will be cutting them up into small pieces. Make a layer of the biscuits in the bottom of a solar safe pot.  Since the food in the middle tends to take the longest to heat and cook, place a small glass in the middle of the pan to create a center hole.  Sprinkle the butterscotch pudding mix and brown sugar evenly over the top of the biscuits. Finally, cut the butter into small chunks and spread on top.Cover the pot and place into a pre-heated solar cooker. I used the Haines Solar Cooker.  My Monkey Bread Bites baked for about 2 hours at 225°. The amount of time needed to cook in a solar cooker will depend on how hot it gets. The temperature is dependent on the type of cooker you are using, the amount of sunshine, and how focused to the sun you keep the solar cooker.
