Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture over the dough balls in the bundt pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until dough appears to be a golden brown.

Let the monkey bread sit for about 3-5 minutes before placing your serving dish on top.

Place your serving dish on top of the bundt pan and carefully flip the bundt pan over so that the serving dish is now sitting on the counter.

Leave the bundt pan on top of the monkey bread for about 5-10 minutes before carefully removing is

Once removed let the monkey bread continue to cool while you mix colors.

Using all 3 of the cream cheese frosting, add a few drops of purple gel coloring to one of the cream cheese containers.

Do the same with the green coloring and the golden yellow

Mix until all is combined.

Scoop the cream cheese icings into their own piping bags

Cut the tip off each piping bag

Drizzle each color over the monkey bread

Pour the sprinkles into a bowl and mix so that they are combined

Sprinkle some of the mixed sprinkles on top of the monkey bread

Let the monkey bread cool for about 15 more minutes so that the cream cheese icing can harden a little bit.

Enjoy!
