Tangy Lemon Bars image

These not-so-sweet bars are a nice change from the sweet treats and will stand out if placed with a selection of holiday cookies. Can be frozen for up to one month, if you are planning ahead.

These lemon bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more tart filling.

Overall, I thought these lemon bars were pretty good. They were easy to make and the flavor was nice. However, I think they could have been improved with a few tweaks to the recipe.

The lemon bars were delicious, but the crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I would have preferred a more solid crust.
