I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These bars are a bit too tart for my taste, but I think I just need to use less lemon juice next time.

Easy to make and delicious. I used a store-bought crust to save time and they still turned out great.

I've made these bars several times and they're always a hit. The crust is buttery and flaky, the filling is perfectly tart and sweet, and the pecan topping is the perfect finishing touch. YUM!
