We like the taste of lemon so much that I just had to include 2 teaspoons of minced lemon zest divided between the batter & the frosting of these bars! This was an interesting (& enjoyable) use of the frosting! I make lemon bars 8 to 10 times a year, & this recipe will definitely be one that I make again! Thanks for sharing it!
