I'm always looking for a great new cookie or bar to try, but I often return this tried-and-true recipe. My husband loves the combination of sweet and salty! —Anna Miller, Quaker City, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1 package lemon cake mix (regular size)
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups crushed saltines (about 60 crackers)
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, butter and egg until crumbly. Stir in cracker crumbs; set aside 2 cups for topping.
  2. Press remaining mixture into a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  3. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks, milk and lemon juice. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved topping. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
