Homemade Lemon Bars image

When these tangy bars were served in my husband's childhood, family meals were memorably complete. That's still true today for our family. The bars' sweetness rounds out the meal, but the lemony flavor keeps them light. Don't expect many leftovers once family and friends taste these treats! -Denise Baumert, Dalhart, Texas

These lemon bars were a little too tart for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if the lemon filling had been a little sweeter.

These lemon bars were a complete disaster! The crust was burnt and the lemon filling was runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I will definitely not be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lemon bars turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I didn't bake them long enough? Or maybe I used the wrong kind of flour?

These lemon bars were good, but not great. The crust was a little too dry for my taste, and the lemon filling was a little too tart. I think I would have liked them better if the crust had been a little more moist and the filling had been a little sw
