Go check them out & tell them that Amber @ Dessert Now, Dinner Later! sent you!  So I decided to go the dessert route again for the swap & I picked their Snickerdoodle Bars.  

These bars are absolutely delicious & so not good for you, but what delicious things are?  They are darker & richer than a snickerdoodle cookie due to the use of brown sugar compared to white, so I have re-named them Cinnamon Brown Sugar Bars.  I feel that resembles the flavors better than that of a snickerdoodle even though I know this recipe is repeatedly blogged by many as a snickerdoodle bar.  

Anyway, if you want a super easy dessert that feeds a lot, this is perfect & is sure to cure your sugar cravings.  My kids gobbled them up!  Enjoy!

3. Gradually add flour mixture until just incorporated.
4. Press into a greased 9x13" pan (I used my mini rolling pin & rolled it flat using a little flour on my pin.)  Combine sugar & cinnamon & sprinkle over the top.
