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

I'm not usually a fan of lemon desserts, but these lemon bars were amazing! The crust was perfectly flaky and the filling was tart and sweet.

Not a fan of these. The crust was too dry and the filling was too tart.

These were a bit too tart for my liking, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try adding a bit more sugar next time.

Made these last night and they were delicious! The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling, as they were a bit too sweet for my taste.

These lemon bars are the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again!
