Dessert -- Orange Crunch Bars

Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
One third cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
One third cup butter, melted

Filling:

2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
One quarter cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. orange rind, grated
One half tsp. baking powder
2 eggs, beaten

Combine crust ingredients and mix well. Spray an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press crust ingredients into the bottom of the pan. Combine filling ingredients and mix well with a hand mixer or in a food processor. Spread over crust and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow bars to cool and place in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. If you prefer, you may use lemon juice and rind instead of orange.

The Skinny: Use light cream cheese and your favorite sugar and egg substitute
