Cinnamon Roll Bar Recipe

Really, is there anything that smells better than cinnamon rolls in the oven? Between the baking dough and the buttery cinnamon filling, cinnamon rolls smell divine!

And, of course, they don’t taste so bad either! Since it’s the cookie time of year, I decided to make the next best thing – these Cinnamon Roll Bars. These bars are rich and buttery and full of sweet, cinnamon-y goodness. They are the perfect addition to any cookie tray and make a delicious, easy treat!

    I love these so much just in the process of making another batch. Quick question- when do you stop cooking the mixture? Before putting the eggs in?

        I made scrambled eggs in the process of adding in the eggs to the brown sugar- butter mixture. I was unaware I was supposed to stop cooking it so the end result was an unneeded breakfast special. lets just say, it was a grave mistake….
