Cream Cheese Bars

This is one of my children's favorites. They eat them up when I make them as they are very addictive. You just can't eat one. I cut them in small pieces also as I like to give them as gifts around Christmas time. My friends must love them also because I get requests all the time to make these delicious little treats. Enjoy!
