While these won't replace my favorite frosted lemon bar recipe, they are a quick & easy alternative. And, I like that it makes enough to calm the sweet tooth but without the guilt of an entire 13x9 pan of bars. :) I served these today to friends & got some really rave reviews. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Vyrianna! Made & enjoyed for the Spring 2009 Pick A Chef Orphanage.

I'm a stay at home mom with a young daughter. I'm looking for small portion meals usually for our lunch. Since DH and I both love desserts and hate waste, I keep an eye out for smaller sized dessert recipes. Since my husband enjoys cooking, he typically handles the evening meal. We are trying to eat healthier, so less prepared mixes, and canned soups, and more things from scratch.
