LEMON BARK

I wasn't a fan of white chocolate until I made this candy. It's tangy, sweet and creamy all at the same time. The bark was a lovely treat during a springtime shower but would be nice year-round. -Diana Wing, Bountiful, Utah

Time 55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 lemons, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the bark will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a specific way to stabilize it and give it a smooth, glossy finish. If you don't temper the chocolate, it will be more likely to seize and become grainy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for lemon drop bark. Some popular choices include crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, dried fruit, and candy sprinkles.
  • Be creative: Have fun and experiment with different flavor combinations and toppings. You can even make your own lemon drop flavoring by mixing lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar.

Conclusion:

Lemon drop bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give lemon drop bark a try. You won't be disappointed!
