Easy Lemon Bars Recipe - These are the BEST Lemon Bars EVER!

 

I have made these lemon bars probably 100 times. I have tweaked it just a bit each time until I hit the sweet spot. These are truly the best ever lemon bars. They are my daughters favorite, and they always disappear when I bring them anywhere! Also? They are so easy to make!

 

Easy Lemon Bars Recipe - These are the BEST Lemon Bars EVER!-2

The crust is simple – just 3 ingredients, but it is magical. It has so much buttery flavor and the texture is perfect! It is the ideal base for the dreamy lemon filling. This filling is so bright and vibrant. I like to add lots of lemon zest after the bars have cooled to bump up the lemon flavor even more. And a sprinkling of powdered sugar just makes them so pretty! These are so refreshing and delicious.

They will be a hit wherever you take them. I speak from experience.

The BEST Lemon Bars EVER - everyone who tries these wants the recipe!

    Wow about 100 times! That’s a lot of lemons you get there lol. I have 4 at home and was contemplating on either making a cake or lemon bars. I think I just may stick with the bars. Yours looks great!
