How do I describe this Orange Monkey Bread?

Orange Monkey Bread is sticky, gooey, sweet, and orangey. It reminds me of being on vacation in Florida. I truly love this orangey breakfast treat. My father grew up in Winter Haven, Florida in 1930’s & 40’s. He loved oranges and anything made with them. He often told me of how he would walk through the orange grove barefooted to get to and from school. He would always stop and eat an orange on his way. My father is no longer with us, but I still remember all his stories he shared about growing up in Florida. Oranges were a big part of his life. My father and most of his family worked at some point and time in the orange groves or the orange factories. I inherited my father’s love for oranges. I truly love them, and everything made with oranges including this Orange Monkey Bread. If you are planning a special weekend treat during the holidays, give this Orange Monkey Bread a try.
