[email protected]Not a fan of macadamia nuts, but these bars were still pretty good. The lemon flavor was nice and tart, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

[email protected]These bars were a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.
Carol Rodriguez
[email protected]Overall, I thought these bars were pretty good. The flavor was nice, but the texture was a bit dry. I might try adding a bit more butter or oil to the crust next time.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly. I think I might have overmixed the dough. Other than that, the bars were delicious.

[email protected]These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
