Reminds me of recipes I've seen for "Monkey Bread"

Ingredients

1 cup Sliced almonds, divided (or whatever type of nuts you'd like to use)

1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese

1/4 cup Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

24 RHODES dinner rolls, thawed, but cold

1/2 cup Butter, melted

1 cup Packed brown sugar

GLAZE:

1 tablespoon Butter

1 cup Confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons Water

1/2 teaspoon Almond extract

Preparation

Coat a 10 in bundt pan with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds; set aside. Cut cream cheese into 24 equal cubes. In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg. Roll cream cheese cubes in sugar mixutre and coat completely. Wrap a roll around each cube to completely enclose cheese. Dip each filled roll in sugar mixture until coated.

Place 12 filled & coated rolls into the prepared pan & sprinkle with half of the remaining almonds. Combine the butter & brown sugar in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds or until sugar is dissoved.; stir to combine. Pour half of the brown sugar mixture over rolls in pan. Place remaining rolls in pan. Sprinkle with remaining nuts & and remaining sugar mixture. Top with remaining butter mixture.

Cover with plastic wrap & let rise in a warm place until dough reaches the top of the pan. Remove wrap & bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. To prevent over browning, cover with foil the last 15 minutes of baking. Invert pan immediately onto a serving platter (it is natural for the bread to settle). Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm bread.

Cook's Notes

Cream cheese is easier to cut into cubes when it is semi-frozen.
