Recipe Description
Growing up, I remember my mom putting together Christmas goodie trays each year. Some new additions were thrown in there, but we could always count on our favorites as well. One of our family favorites were these lemon dream bars. Being the chocolate fan I am, it always surprised everyone when I would pick these over a chocolate peanut butter ball, hehe.
The crust literally melts in your mouth, the chopped pecans add a nice slight crunch, and the lemon isn’t too strong. Everything combined into one bar definitely earns the name “lemon dream bars”.
Whether you make these for the Holidays, make these for a party, or just to enjoy as a delicious sweet treat; these bars are definitely a must try!
Enjoy!!
