    Everybody I meet loves these - the oats in the crust/streusel make them so much more delicious than the classic lemon bar. So buttery and delicious. I make sure to make a thick bottom of crust - otherwise there's too much topping. I make sure also to use a shallower pan so the topping can brown up nicely - too deep a pan and it all looks too beige. I use at least 7 tablespoons of lemon juice - I love a very tart lemon bar - the condensed milk can handle almost any amount of juice mixed into it and it's always baked up fine. When cool sometimes I sprinkle yellow decorator sugar on top - as the only complaint I find is they don't really look lemony - but they are very lemony - pucker up!

    Outstanding! I followed the recipe exactly as written. I wondered how much lemon juice and zest to use and ended up adding a half a cup of lemon juice and the zest of 2 large lemons.

    I saw this lemon bar recipe back in August of 1999 on a show called "Calling All Cooks" and have been making it ever since. I was poking around on this website and I'm glad to see that this one is higly rated.

    I brought these to a dinner party and they were all gone very quickly. A picky five year old kept telling everyone how yummy they were! These will definitely be a new favorite recipe since they are also quick and easy!

    i had been looking for a recipe that combined two of my favorite items: lemons and a delicious streudal-like crust. this recipe is not only simple, quick, and easy, but it is by far the most delicious lemon bar i have had. i recommend this recipe to all lemon bar lovers!

    This is an easy, delicious lemon bar recipe. I remember this recipe from so many years ago when this show aired and have made them many times. It's quick, simple, and very lemony. Definitely try it--you'll never need another lemon bar recipe!
