    they were super goood! the only problem I had with them was the lack of thickness. my lemon bars turned out super thin. if I use the recipe again, I'm going to try it in a smaller pan. but other than that, they were AMAZING!(:

    A lemon bar is a lemon bar is a lemon bar...these were really really good but my crust would not roll out so I had to press the crust into the pan which worked just fine. I also had to cook the crust for almost 30 minutes instead of 20. And I had to cook the filling for almost 30 minutes because it just wouldn't set. That being said, when they came out of the oven, I couldn't wait for them to cool down, so they fell apart trying to get them on the plate. Regardless, I ate them anyway in a big glorious heap on my plate! Delicious! The only reason I gave these 4 stars instead of 5 is because my nana's recipe for lemon bars is knock your socks off good. Sorry, secret family recipe!! But you will not be disappointed with these!

    I made the lemon bars and the lemon bars was good. But I use the lemon extract instead of the real lemons that was all I had and the recipe turned out very good.

    Having tried several of Pat and Gina's recipes, the Lemon Bars ring true to their reputation...DELICIOUS! BTW, their Shrimp and Grits receipe is to die for if you haven't tried it and like grits.

    Made these lemon bars this morning crust too bland, the lemon filling is okay and the topping I changed it by using lemon juice instead of lemon extract and lemon zest gave it a more lemon taste. i won't make this recipe again. But will use my recipe for topping. Sorry Gina!

    Ok so all I can say is I am the bomb.. I made these and my husband tore them up. Yes that Coach bag I wanted is now mine lol.. These are excellent, moist, easy, n all though I added a little more lemon and zest these were fabtabulous.. I wont mention the five pounds we have gained since we started eating with the Neelys but seriously all recipes I have tried are Wonderful.. I will say Im glad I dont live close to the Neelys because I would be as big as a house lol.. Keep up the great work guys and I swear we must be related.. So for all you bakers out there try the chocolate buttermilk cupcakes.. YEA Mommie got the BMW after the chicken wings n Chocolate Buttermilk cupcakes.. LOVE YOU GUYS

    The beauty of most recipes is that you can tweak them for individual taste. For instance if you want more of an intense lemony flavor, try adding additional lemon zest. Also, if you family doesn't like cayenne, leave it out or reduce the amount. I'm sure doing that you'll enjoy recipes alot more.

    This is similar to another lemon bar recipe I have had for years, but the cream cheese icing is a nice touch. I thought the filling had just the right amount of zest.
