These lemon bars are great when you want something sweet but not too heavy. They make great bake sale items as well. I like to bring mine down to the beach with picnic lunches. There’s nothing wrong with a great sunny day spent outside with the family and a perfect sweet treat after!
ENJOY!
I love lemon bars. I am so used to making them from a box that I thought they would be hard to make from scratch. But I can see from your recipe that it would be much easier than I though. I will be pinning and making these weekly this spring and summer for sure.
Looks wonderful! I’m printing this out so that we can give it a try this weekend! Have a wonderful Easter!
