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.Reply
