Easy Eatin' Lemon Bars

These were brought into my work recently to celebrate a co-worker's birthday. Absolutely incredible! The baker was hunted down and made to hand out the recipe. ;) It came from her Pampered Chef cookbook, and the pan she used was one of their 'bar pans'. I'm sure a 13X.. or 15X.. could be substituted, but the baking time should probably be adjusted.

These are great! I made them this morning and they were very easy.(except I forgot to reserve some crust for the topping, so I did a little scraping - caught myself in time though) We all like lemon here and these bars are certainly lemony and rich. I used a regular 9x13 pan and they came out just fine. Thanks for sharing this one.Reply
