Bake Sale Lemon Bars

These lemon bars are one of the simplest yet oh-so-tasty desserts I've ever made. My brother, if not stopped, will eat pretty much the entire pan himself . . . in one sitting. When I introduced Buppy to them, I found the same to be true.

The recipe comes from an old issue of a Taste of Home magazine. I don't remember the first time I made it, but it's definitely a recipe that I marked as a keeper from Day 1. Citrus-y desserts are so nice in the summer, or any time of year that matter, as an alternative to chocolate things. Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate, but it's nice to mix things up with recipes like this sometimes too.Bake Sale Lemon Bars
