Sweet Potato Pie Bars

This recipe came about from Jason's love of Sweet Potato Pie. This issue is that we always go camping Thanksgiving weekend and bringing pie on our trip isn't feasible. So I started looking for bar recipes instead. Wait until you taste this yummy sweet potato pie disguised as an incredible bar cookie. The fabulous sweet potato pie filling with a cinnamon crumbly topping is amazing!!
