good, easy. Had to get a cake mix and a sugar free pudding mix. Not overly lemony or overly sweet, hubby liked it that way!

These were very dense and chewy, kind of like fudge-style brownies. They had a fruit-loops taste.

I doubled the filling like everyone suggested. I struggled with the baking time though. I added in an extra 10 minutes of baking time because the cheesecake filling didn't seem to set (and the topping wasn't browned). It still didn't work. I took them out cause I was afraid the crust would get too dark. It became a little bit more firm when it cooled but it was a still a little jiggly. I'm not sure what happened. But it was still delicious!

These were excellent. I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like them, but they came out great - especially after chilling for a day in the fridge. I used extra lemon juice (not sure how much, just used a large lemon and squoze the heck out of it). Great flavor. Hubby suggests using part oil and part butter for the cake mix to give the crust a more buttery flavor. Will try that and let you know.

Holy Cow, these were good! They were gone an hour after I made them. Terrific Recipe!!!!! I always read the reviews before trying any of the recipes on this site; a lot of people doubled the cream cheese layer. I only had one package of cream cheese so I used 1/4 cup of lemon juice and that made Plenty to cover the bottom layer. I don't think you need to double the cream cheese unless you want some RICH bars.

I made these lemon bars just as directed and they tasted great and are super easy to bake. I think that this recipe is much better than the lemon bars that come in the box down the grocery isle too. I will be making these again and again.

These bars were easy to make and a hit with my husband and at work,the only thing I suggest is to double the cream cheese filing and I used 1 lemon and used the juice from it and about 1 T. lemon juice from the bottle and the zest from the lemon,thanks for a easy and delicious recipe.

Going by the other reviews, I also doubled the "filling" for this cookie bar. I don't believe the amount written would have been enough. I also, like many other reviewers like a stronger lemon flavor, so I used the zest and juice from 1 1/2 lemons. I also added 1 box instant sugar-free lemon pudding to the cream filling and couple drops of yellow food color. The bars are very good. My family liked them. They are kind of like a little cheese-cake cookie. Very good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but when I combined the cake mix with the egg and oil, it became a paste instead of being crumbly. I followed the directions carefully. Not sure if the brand of cake mix makes a difference. The taste was fine for the base and filling but the consistency was just not right.

These were REALLY good. I increased the filling ingredients by 50% as suggested... they are definitely not like traditional lemon bars but they are much easier to make and taste lovely. These will be made again, I'm sure! (I used Betty Crocker Super Moist Lemon Cake mix... no pudding, but that didn't seem to matter.)

I thought these bars were really good. I made them for mothers day and was not disappointed. I did double the cream cheese mixture and added 1/2 tsp more of lemon juice to the cream cheese. Yumm!!!
