THIS DESSERT is a delightful recipe from my mother's file. I've been serving it for many years. The bars have a wonderful tangy flavor, and they're always a hit. For variety of color and shape, they're a nice addition to a platter of cookies. -Etta Soucy, Mesa, Arizona

Made this recipe for the girls at work. Big hit!! I didn't put as much butter in crust. I thought 1/4 cup was plenty and it was. I'm making this recipe again today for my family. Thanks Taste of home for all your recipes!

They are the best and so easy to make. I made them for the office and everyone wanted the recipe. I had to make 7 batches because my husband and son kept eating them when they were done.

Incredibly delicious! So easy and everyone loves them. Always double the recipe in a 9x12 glass pan. Even than..no leftovers.Try them..you'll be so glad you did!!

After making these I'v decided that I am not a big lemon bar fan, perhaps lemonade but not lemon bars. I am giving this recipe 4 stars because the recipe was exceptionally well and impressive. Also I do stress that you prick crust with a fork before baking. Good Luck!

My daughter, who doesn't really care for lemon that much, tried this and raved about it. She called it the "best desert you've ever made, Mom." I've made quite a few, and chocolate scones were her previous favorites. Now she bugs me to make it again and again! I recommend making at least double the recipe. These are MUCH better than the expensive box mix you can buy! Thanks so much for the great recipe!
