Cinnamon Coffee Bars

This was a very simple bar with a great old-fashion taste. Definitely one of those easy, last minute type of things to make. Again, a great holiday treat as it’s not so rich and dense as most desserts but definitely enjoyable anytime of the year!

1 cup pack brown sugar

1/3 cup butter, softened
