Microwave Monkey Bread

1/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar
3 t. butter or margarine
1 T. water
1 can (7.5 oz.) refrigerator biscuits
1/3 c. chopped nuts (optional)

1. Combine the brown sugar, butter, and water in a glass pie plate. Microwave on full power 1 minute.
   
2. Stir to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar. Stir in the nuts.
3. Cut each biscuit into quarters and add to the sugar mixture. Stir to coat each piece. Push the mixture and buscuits evenly away from the center. Place a microwave-safe drinking glass in the center for even cooking.
4. Microwave on full power for 2-2/12 minutes until the biscuits are no longer sticky when lightly touched. (Rotate after 1 minute if the microwave doesn't rotate.)
5. Let the mixture stand for 1-2 minutes to carry-over cook before serving.
