Delicious! I saved the best for last. Made just as directed, and the only change I would make in the future is to use a 9x9 pan or double the crust so that the crust is a little bit thicker. I would like to make these for the bake sale, but the thin crust is too fragile. The flavor though, it outstanding. I mixed both the crust and the filling in the food processor. Super easy recipe I wish I'd tried sooner. Made and enjoyed for the cookathon in Pammy's honor.

11/18/13 UPDATE: Made this again for hubby's people at work and I got so many emails thanking me for this delicious dessert! We also enjoyed it at home too. Made for Pammyowl's Cookathon.<br/>Agreeing with everybody else's reviews... delicious!! I followed the recipe and took one bite before packing them up for hubby's work and I know they're going to love them! Will make this one again. Thanks!

These should be renamed, Lemon Bars for Dummies. I have NEVER been able to make a decent lemon bar from scratch or from a box. These are foolproof! HOLY SMOKES these are amazing, the perfect balance of flavors. Not too tart and not too sweet. Like a fool, I halved the recipe in an 8x8 pan and wish I had made the entire recipe. The edges got a little to browned so I trimmed them off and GUESS WHAT, ate them anyway! I'm telling you, these ROCK! DH and my 89 y/o neighbor could not stop making YUMMY noises while eating them. My DH is not a dessert eater and he ate 2! That just about says it all. Made in memory of Pammyowl's Cook-a-thon. RIP sweet lady, you are already missed. XO

I have a Farmers Market stand where I sell breads and sweets. I am really enjouing my stand, as I get to make all kinds of breads, although the sweets are the big attraction! I am married to theworlds most wonderful man, have an aan amazingly brilliant child (of course I would say that!). In short, I am a verry happy, cheerful woman. Baking bread is my passion, but I love to cook anything. </p>
<p>I have two great dogs, Jack and Lucy, a black lab and a boxer/pitbull mix, respectively.</p>
