It should be a crime for anyone in their right mind to say no to a lemon bar. Anything that has lemon is automatically delicious. Lemonade, strawberry lemonade, lemon meringue pie, lemon butter cookies, lemon sorbet, you name it! Other than being delicious, lemons are a huge source of vitamin C and help your body fight sicknesses. I know this because along side orange juice, lemon juice gets me back on my feet after a bad cold. Of course, eating a delicious lemon bar also provides you those benefits, right? (I wish).
This recipe combines a deliciously buttery crust with a rich lemon filling. It is extremely easy to make and I assure you it'll be hard for you to stop eating them once you've started.
