This was very Yummie...Will be my only lemon bar recipe :) As per other suggestions I added 1 tbs of butter to the crust and I used 1/2 cup granulated sugar instead of 1/4 cup powdered sugar. I baked the crust for 15 min and baked it with the lemon curd a little shy of 20 minutes. Just when it started to get golden on top, I took it out. SOOOOOO Good you gotta try it!!

I tried making these today to take to work tomorrow, but they didn't turn out too well. 20 min was too long to bake the crust, and it burned slightly on the edges. Then I tasted the filling before pouring it into the pan, and it was much too sweet. So I added another Tbsp of lemon juice. Then, after baking for only 20 min, the bars were overdone. I was hoping I could salvage some of them from the middle of the pan, but when I cut them, the crust crumbled and fell apart, and the lemon filling was too thick and sticky. The taste was OK, maybe still a bit sweet, and the bars are edible, but I'm going to have to eat them myself because they're in no condition to be served to anyone else. With some modifications, this recipe could be pretty good, but not so much as it is.

I used key lime juice instead and the bars were delicious. A big hit in our house.

Mmmm-Yummy. These were really good. I made them because it made a small pan rather than a 13 x 9 pan.(This was easier as I didn't have to cut my recipe in 1/2) I still prefer my own recipe. But this sure hit the spot and was loved by my coffee crew! It will be a keeper as it just the right size. Don't like to have leftovers! They tend to expand my jeans!!!

the bars had a nice crispy top but were really soft on the inside. also, i had to triple the ingredient for the filling since it was wo obvious that there was too little filling at first. it was really too sweet for me, even though i'd already reduced the sugar and increased the lemon juice and added some lemon zest.

I added the extra butter and cut down the cooking time for the crust as recommended. The crust was fine, but tasteless. The lemon filling wasn't tart enough for me. Not a fan of this recipe

Baked the crust for 20 minutes and it was almost completely burned. And the extra baking for 20 minutes of the topping would have sent the fire department.

DELICIOUS!!! I followed the advice of the other reviews and added 1 extra tablespoon of butter to the crust mixture and only baked the crust for 15 minutes. I really love lemon so I added a HEAPING tablespoon of zest and 4 tablespoons of juice. MMmmmmmmmm perfect flavor. My 8 year old was so impressed that he said "these are better than Grandmas" but we won't tell her that ;) Thank you!!
