Very tart and unetable. Stuck to pan, couldn't get it out without a knife! And I even sprayed the pan first! Definetly a NO BAKE. Sorry, Geri

I dislike coconut very much but when i saw this recipe i really wanted to try it, now i make it all the time! When ever i need a desert for an event i go right to the store knowing what i need for this recipe! It's great! I add a lot more lemon juice for the icing but other then that it is PERFECT!

Very good, however had to double on the icing as quantities in the recipe do not ever cover half of the bars. Otherwise, definitely to do over and over again as all the ingredients in the recipe are always in my pantry.

These were very easy to make and very tasty. I substituted pecans for walnuts and added 2 tbsp lemon juice to the filling to make it more lemony. My boyfriend and I both said the exact same thing when we tried them "Strange, but good!" I served them to guests and everyone enjoyed them, although they didn't cut smoothly so they weren't as attractive as I would've liked. I will probably make them again.

I really loved this recipe. The baking of the walnut layer created a nice crunchy top & the nuts had a beautiful roasted flavour. I added a little more lemon zest (about three teaspoons) & a dash more juice, so the icing was really tangy & offset the sweetness of the rest of the dessert. I'll definitely make this one again.

These are a holiday favorite at my house. I recommend using fresh lemon juice & zest. Also, I've made them with pecans rather than walnuts, and they were equally good with either. Yummy!

Pretty good dessert. Most liked it but probably won't make it again. Thanks!

Ok, I have no idea what the other reviewers commented on, but I don't think it was this recipe?! I LOVE sweets, and in fact being 1 of 7 kids (Big Family) I am the one everyone calls for the "next best dessert" recipe. The icing was way too tangy for the almost pecan pie type underfilling. Imagine a Pecan pie with a tangy lemon icing on top. Not my idea of a good dessert. Sorry to be so negative but these were just not good at all. Dissapointment.

These bars were okay but not lemony enough. I agree with another reviewer that something was missing. I also am not sure if I like coconut in lemon bars....I think I will keep on looking. Thanks anyway.
