Lemon bars don't get any better than this. I made these this morning to take to the monthly morning tea we have after seniors' gym. This is our first morning tea since the start of the pandemic. In all, 14 people give this a huge thumbs up. Easy to make and just the right tang. Thanks for posting.

I LOVE lemon bars and these do no disappoint!! I made 1/2 the batch since DH doesn't eat them (there is no chocolate) and I didn't want to eat the whole pan myself (though I could!!) They were super easy to make and nice and tart, but not too sour. Will be making these again! Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #65.
