Yummy Lemon Flavor!

I love Lemon Bars – always have. I have made them from scratch and from a box in the past, and will probably continue to do so in the future.

This recipe makes a very hearty bar. The lemon top is thick and does not have the gel like consistency you get from a box mix.

The crust is heavy and crunchy, but not in a bad way.

The dessert isn’t overly sweet, but isn’t overly acidic either.

It is a very balanced bar overall. And very tasty!
