Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Bars
They are chewy and gooey and absolutely full of cinnamon flavor. They were almost a little apple-y tasting, but I think that's just because I'm so used to associating cinnamon and caramel with apple pie? Everyone else who ate them thought the same thing, though. Weird, man.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Roasted Saigon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 package 14 ounces caramels, unwrapped
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Set aside. Mix brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.
- Reserve 1 cup of the batter. Spread remaining batter into lightly greased foil-lined 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until firm.
- In a small sauce pan set over low-medium heat, heat the caramels and milk, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes or until caramels are completely melted. Cool 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over baked layer in pan, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges. Drop reserved 1 cup batter by spoonfuls over caramel layer. Cut through batter with knife several times for marble effect.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until center is set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Lift from pan. Cut into bars.
