Love those bars because there are no need to make the frosting . . .

Very good, and super easy. Added a little bit of lemon zest to the filling to up the lemon flavour.

Have been making these lemon bars for a few years now. I love this recipe. It is easy to prepare and serves up a refreshing "hit" of lemon flavor.

These bars are nice and tangy. I added some lemon peel for a more intense flavour.

Very nice recipe.
