Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars
- Press 2/3 of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. Spread this mixture evenly over the base layer.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the cinnamon filling—it doesn’t need to be perfect, as it will spread slightly while baking.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes , or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze.
Step 5: Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner glaze or more sugar for a thicker consistency.
Step 6: Finish and Serve
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars. Slice into squares and serve.
