Finally perfected this recipe. These are the perfect sweet treat for your guests or even to bring as a gift. When I remove mine from the baking dish, I use a fork and do it gently one square at a time. These great lemon bars are an absolute classic and you probably have all these ingredients already ready to go in your kitchen.
