Are these Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars suitable for freezing?

Yes, you can freeze these bliss bars after they're baked and cooled. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to maintain freshness for up to three months. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving!

What’s the best way to store the bars?

Store the Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider refrigerating them to maintain freshness.

Can I make these bars gluten-free?

To make gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that baking powder is also gluten-free, and follow the rest of the recipe as usual.

How can I make these bars less sweet?

If you prefer a less sweet dessert, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting or use a lighter cream cheese frosting. Consider adding a pinch of salt to counterbalance the sweetness.

Can I adjust the cinnamon level in the recipe?

Absolutely! If you love a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the cinnamon measurement slightly. Just be cautious, as too much can overwhelm the other flavors.
