I give these lemon bars a 5 out of 5 rating. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the crust is buttery and flaky. I would definitely make them again.

These lemon bars are the worst dessert I've ever had. The crust was like cardboard and the filling was like sour milk. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I tried making these lemon bars but they didn't turn out well. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found these lemon bars to be a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. Overall, they're a good recipe and I would recommend them to others.

These lemon bars are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. They're also a great make-ahead dessert.
