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

I thought these lemon bars were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping.

The filling in my lemon bars was a little runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I had a hard time getting the crust to set. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

These lemon bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try adding a little more sugar next time.
