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.

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!
