Sweet Potato Bars image

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.
