These cinnamon bars were soooo good ans chewy! but the only problem is that they contain so much butter. When I took off the pan, butter was dripping off of them. In the future I will decrease the amount of butter to maybe half. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These are great - taste kind of like a cross between caramel and apple pie (without the apples of course). We are not fans of nuts in our baked goods, so I omitted them. Definitely cut these while they are warm bacause they firm a great deal as they cool. Oh, and I'd suggest cutting them into 1-inch pieces as suggested. Additionally, rolling these in powdered sugar is a bit messy - next time I'll just sprinkle the powdered sugar on top.
