Kisa's Lemon Bars To Die For



"Kisa's Lemon Bars To Die For" totally don't do these justice. I know, you'd think it would, but really? They should be called Kisa's holymotherofGOD Lemon Bars To Die For, because they're really freaking good. And I'm embarrassed to admit how many I ate. So, I'm not going to.

After the cookies, I didn't expect to make another lemon recipe anytime soon, but I've never made these before and, well, I love lemon. Got it?



I may not have made them before, but I have inhaled delicately nibbled on one or two thousand here and there.

Actually, I best remember lemon bars from when I was sixteen. My stepsister and I used to go to the movies and across from the theater was a bakery that had the most delicious lemon bars. We'd buy a couple and sneak them in. Not the wisest choice as using a fork in a dark theater can be, um, difficult... but they were too good to resist.



I think these were better. Yes, it's been a few years since I last had a lemon bar in a dark movie theater, but these were just fantastic. And easy!

And I totally regret taking the extras to work now, but, well... after eating half the pan myself, it was necessary.

Please go check out the recipe. These are too good not to make yourself.

  10. You guys are too freaking awesome! A girl could get used to this sort of attention.Kay, no, I love you. And if you ever decide to make these, please don't show me the pictures. You'll put me to shame!Wait, on second thought. I want to see the photos. Yours are too freakin' good. 3continentfamily, please let us know how they turn out!Gayle, that would be a dream come true, but all in due time... (I hope!)Hi Coachdad! Thanks for stopping by!Kisa, no, THANK YOU! This recipe was so totally great! I'm glad I have it in my collection now. Jodi, I love lemon drop martinis. Except, after two, my husband has to pour me into bed. Those have a stronger effect on me more than anything else. But damn, they're good.
