Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Bars

DSC01882

These chocolate chip cinnamon bars were good and I loved the texture of them but they didn’t become something special until I nuked them in the microwave and topped them with my Roasted Banana Buttermilk Ice Cream. (I hope to post that soon). 

Oh, yeah, now we’re talking!  On their own the bars and especially the ice cream were good but they didn’t have me looking  for an excuse to make them again.  Together? It’s a whole other story!  I ate one and seriously contemplated a second but knew if I did I would be struggling to fit into my clothes the next day.  :(

Each of my three and their friend ate two the night I made them and finished up the pan the following afternoon.  So maybe you shouldn’t take my opinion serious AND they ate theirs plain.

I saw these on Smitten Sugar’s and she got them from Julia’s blog, Dozen Flours.

So they won't replace those delicious snickerdoodle bars then? I'm always looking for an excuse to make those again. : )

really, what isn't improved with some half-melted ice cream perched atop it? lovely recipe, ingrid--thanks for being honest about it. :)

Monica H said...

Ha ha! I saw these on Dozen Flours and bookmarked them a couple months ago, then I saw that Smitten Sugar made them and I thought, "oooh, Ingrid would love these" then I noticed you didn't know about them!

Okay, I'm rambling, but I'm glad you made them. They're still on my list to make some day... and they look especially good with that melted ice cream on top- mmm!

I LOVE cinnamon and chocolate!

Roasted Banana and Buttermilk Ice Cream!? Ingrid, you are killing me! In the best way possible!

Oh, and thanks for the feedback on the Banana Crisp! I'm going to add your suggestions in my post - if you don't mind, of course!

Thanks for linking to me! I know I have been so busy I havent had a chance to bake much! But I should have quite a few posts coming up this week! Your pictures look delicious with the ice cream on top!

Anything with ice cream tastes better.

OMG, yes. Anything warmed with ice cream on the top is out of this world delicious. Chocolate cinnamon bars sound good on their own too.

Roasted Banana Buttermilk Ice Cream - Just the sound of that one makes my mouth water from all the ice cream goodness! And the chocolate chip cinnamon bars aren't helping any :) The combination sounds delicious. I probably won't be able to stop at just one!

These look so delicious! I am absolutely saving this recipe and next time I have an excuse to bake, am making these!

I can understand why warming it up and topping it with ice cream would make it so much better!
