This was not to my liking, easy to make, looked beautiful, but was too sweet for my taste. My guests liked it, but I won't make it again.

Delicious! Followed the recipe exactly except I did add one extra tbsp of butter to the crust as per other people's suggestion. These are really easy and really good! If you are a big fan of lemon, you might want to add more zest/juice to the filling, but it's perfectly good the way it is as well.

LOVE these! Have been looking for an easy, delicious recipe for lemon bars and this is it! As good if not better than any I've ever had. An instant family favorite. Thanks for sharing! Next time will double the recipe and use a 9 x 13 because they went too fast!

This is Delicious, but watch the cooking time - only 15 minutes for your base, then 20 minutes after you add your second layer.

These were really yummy and easy to make. The only thing is I don't know how you can get 16 bars of of this receipe...unless they are really small. But you don't need a big bar because they are the perfect combination of sweet and tart.

I like to try the recipe as written first, before I judge. I kept thinking this is not enough bottom layer...this is just not enough lemon filling...but resisted making adjustments before trying. I did remove bottom layer after 15 min. and cooked until browned (about 20 mins). It did produce a "thin" bar, but it was just perfect. I wanted light, lemon taste finish after a large Greek meal. It was a satisfying finish! A better choice than the Greek Lemon Cake I had originally planned. This I will make over and over, just the way it is written. I was impressed how easily they did come out of the pan.

I found that I needed to bake this for longer than specified, about 30 minutes. The filling was delicious, although I think I might add an extra tbs of lemon juice next time. Lovely recipe!

Tangy, sweet and addictive! For a special event, arrange pieces of lemon bar, cherry bars and brownies on large platters. I have served this combination at showers and graduations and always receive many compliments. Enjoy!

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.

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.
