Used suggestions from GOURMETMOMMY (Thanks!)to make an easy, lemony, and tasty dessert. A little bar goes a long way, with the intense lemon flavour. I think I would serve them in future as part of a dessert table, rather than as the only dessert, for those who are not lemon lovers. Thanks for the recipe!

I've tried many lemon bar recipes in the past...some looked bad or tasted too tart. This one was just right! The perfect lemon bar recipe!

I didn't really care for these at all. The flavor just didn't quite come out right for me and the crust really didn't taste right. I won't make these again

I don't care for lemon bars but my brother requested these for TG :) He said and others who ate them that they were GREAT!

Good recipe, didn't change a thing. But, I would turn the oven to 350 degrees next time as the edges got more brown and hard. Also, I would add more lemon, they didn't taste "lemony" as I would have liked them.

These bars are VERY simple and so tasty. I do have one small suggestion you just might wanna try. I saw this on a cooking show: Lemon juice, when used in a recipe, partly cooks off when being baked. To keep a lot of that fresh lemon flavor, Add 1 tablespoon of fresh gated lemon rind! Amazing!

I followed gormet mommy's advice but added 2 1/4 c of sugar instead of 1 3/4c. I thought the result was great. I also did the crust with whole wheat flower and 10T of butter (rather than 12) and it turned out great as well.

ok, I did what Gourmet mommy said but I also doubled the crust as another reviewer recommended, I guess I like my lemon bars sweeter and the crust is a little tougher when it is so thick. I will probably do what the recipe tells me to do next time. My husband would only eat the edges.

These are absolutely the best. You definitely need to use fresh lemon juice. I could gooble up the whole pan myself.

I did them the first time with the original recipe, you really have to thinly spread the dough but they were great,all the other ways don't seem too work as well doubling up the dough was wayyyy too much crust, but for a cute touch add pink food coloring and subsitute lime for lemon and you got pink lemonaide bars(:

These lemon bars were delicious and very easy to make. The only problem I had was when I poured the lemon mixture onto the crust it was not on a level surface(stupid mistake) so I had some really thick bars and some with almost no lemon. But the recipe is great, I will be using it again for sure.

Made these for my boyfriend. My daughter ended up eating most of the pan so when he finally got to them, I had to promise to make another batch just for him. He loved them!

DO NOT READ THE REVIEWS!!! I tried to do all of the different things that everyone was saying and it turned out with too thick of a crust, not enough lemon, and way too sweet. Next time I will try the original recipe first!

Used Gourmet Mommy's advice and they were great. Next time I will use less sugar in the crust as my boyfriend and I thought they were a bit rich. He asked me to make them again though - a keeper.
