Jina, my SWEET sister in Christ, gave me this recipe many, many years ago. Yes, I have several really good LEMON bar recipes, but, this one takes the CAKE! or should I say “BARS?” 🙂
If you’re a lemon lover, you’re gonna love them, I promise.
These bars are SUPER moist and very delicious. Quite EASY to make, too. Yes, you’ll want SECONDS, so you might as well take TWO to begin with.
