Favorite Lemon Bar Recipe

Hi guys! Today, we are bringing you another delicious Tried and True treat. How many of you grew up eating lemon bars?Although my sister, Tara, doesn’t agree, I’ve decided to add these tasty Lemon Bars to our ever growing favorite treats list (yup, she only eats chocolate-y treats and no fruity ones). This recipe from Among the Young was so good though, it could make anyone a lemon bar believer! We only made a few modifications, and let me tell ya, they turned out AMAZING.

I’ll paint the picture for you: Moist, buttery crust with a sweet, yet perfectly tart lemon layer, topped with a generous amount of powdered sugar. Are you drooling yet? There’s something about the lemony flavor that makes these bars easy to eat. They’re not overly sweet or rich – they’re kind of refreshing rather than heavy! But don’t take my word for it. Whip up a batch of these easy Lemon Bars and see for yourself!
