SWEET POTATO BARS
These bars have a gooey, cheese cake-like top layer and a buttery cookie bottom layer. I adapted the recipe from one that called for pumpkin. I made these for Thanksgiving and they were gone before the meal was even served. We enjoyed them warm from the oven, topped with a dollop of whipped cream, heaven! We'll be haveing these every year from now on.

FROSTED SPICY SWEET POTATO BARS
One bite of these sweet potato bars and you'll think they were pumpkin - the flavors are very similar. Raisins and pecans add texture to the bars. Cream cheese frosting on top is slightly tangy and sweet. A nice complement to the bars that are filled with fall flavors. Easy to make, these will be a great addition to a holiday dessert tray.
