    Cinnamon Toast Squares

    Published: Jan 23, 2019 · Updated: May 1, 2022 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    By Kevin Williams

    This was a fun, delicious dessert to make with my girls.   Aster, 5, can do more complex stuff in the kitchen, but Bea, 2 ½, still isn't much beyond the "stir and bake" skill level, and that is what this dessert is.  But for a simple stir and bake, it makes a wonderful dessert with rich flavor.

    The bars are like eating cinnamon toast.  And who doesn't like cinnamon toast?

    You can use a stand mixer in the stirring part. I'd do it at a low speed to fluff everything up, but it also worked just find mixing by hand, Amish-style.  So enjoy this amazing dessert!

    Amazingly easy and delicious dessert...
