Made these bars as per the recipe, but with the addition of a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest in the glaze! I love the lemony taste, but even with the zest it didn't over-power the other flavors from the filling ~ the coconut & walnuts, especially! Made for some wonderful tasting bars! Thanks for sharing!
