Description
Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars are a deliciously gooey and buttery treat that layers flattened cinnamon rolls with a rich brown sugar butter mixture and a creamy, tangy cream cheese glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- Two (2) cans (8 counts each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing packets reserved)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Reserved icing packets from cinnamon rolls
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Separate the cinnamon rolls from the enclosed icing packets and set the icing aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract; stir until well blended. Unroll and slightly flatten half (8 rolls) of the cinnamon rolls and press them evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan to form a cohesive crust layer.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll base. Gently arrange the remaining 8 cinnamon rolls on top of the filling, placing them side-by-side across the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- While the bars are cooling slightly, prepare the “bliss” glaze. In a small bowl, combine the reserved icing packets, the softened cream cheese, and the powdered sugar. Whisk vigorously until the glaze is smooth, thick, and lump-free.
- Drizzle the prepared cream cheese glaze liberally over the warm bars, ensuring even coverage. Allow the Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars to cool completely before removing them from the pan using the parchment paper edges and cutting into squares for serving.
