Cinnamon Roll Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

The bars deliver the flavors of cinnamon rolls in an easy bar form. It’s an easy, fuss-free, one-bowl, no-mixer recipe that everyone will love. I used 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of cinnamon for a bold burst of cinnamon flavor, but if you’re more sensitive to cinnamon reduce to taste. You may have extra frosting leftover if you don’t love a thick, decadent layer and it keeps for weeks in the fridge. A time-saving shortcut is to use storebought canned whipped cream cheese frosting.
