- Add half of the coated dough to the prepared pan, spreading out to evenly cover the bottom. It's ok if they overlap and if there are slight gaps in coverage.
- Sprinkle half of the pretzels and chocolate chips evenly out over top of the dough. Drizzle half of the butter over top. Repeat, using the remainder of dough, pretzels, chips, and butter.1 cup crushed pretzels, 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup melted butter
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and let rest for 5 full minutes- away from heat.
- Run a butter knife gently along the outer and inner edges, to release. Lay a cutting board over the top of the pan, and carefully holding in place, flip them both over to release the monkey bread from the pan to the cutting board.
