Don't know why the other person had trouble. Recipe makes perfect sense to me. Turned out good. Liked the "bites" versus the normal monkey bread in the bundt pan.

The recipe is written in a confusing way that made it hard to decipher when what ingredient was added. I never saw where the two separate portions of butter were added, and when I poured the glaze on the dough the first one received all butter and little to no sugar glaze. Perhaps the smaller portion was to add with the sugars but who could tell?! A bit of clarifying could go a long way with this one. However, an absolutely heavenly smell filled my kitched while these were baking and the overall taste was DELICIOUS.

  The amount of butter isn't a divided use, it's 1/2 cup plus additional (to all be melted together)
