Chef's Notes

Line baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly spray with vegetable oil baking spray. It will be much easier to remove the baked bars this way ~ they stick and are very delicate.

I've had failed attempts at lemon squares before but this recipe worked perfectly and became an instant hit with my family yesterday! I'm making another batch again today! Thank you! :)

I LOVE THIS! Great post. I think I'm going to have to make these for our potluck at work on Friday; I was told to bring the dessert. But I'm seriously craving these so bad right now! I can't wait. This is the best recipe, Beth!
