In a small bowl, whisk granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Sprinkle half of cinnamon sugar evenly into bottom of prepared pan.
Press dough on top of cinnamon sugar.
Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar on top and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, use the foil to remove bars from the pan and cut into sticks.
Store airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days.
To make ganache, gently warm cream in microwave for 30 seconds, add chocolate and stir well until smooth. If mixutre isn't creamy, warm in microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds and stir.
