Very good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I fixed these yesterday but used a glaze on second posting of Paula's recipe instead of cream cheese frosting--which I liked,... by the way. My only comment would be that 'Orange Bars' would be a more accurate description of the final product. We thought they were identical to lemon bars--just the orange version. If you're expecting a 'brownie'--you'll be disappointed; and, if you notice, the recipe doesn't contain any baking powder or soda.Read more

Yummy ;D)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so delicious. I made a few changes as others suggested. I added 1C flour , 1 1/2C sugar, and 3 eggs instead of four.... Every thing came out terrific. Thanks Paula.Read more

This is one of my families favorite desserts. I take it to brunches, pot lucks, dinner parties, school functions and... everyone just flips over it. It is so refreshing a light and has a fantastic favor. Thanks for this wonderful treat. It will be used forever. Read more

A great alternative to the "usual" brownies
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for Easter Sunday and they were a HUGH hit with all of my guests. The recipe was very easy to follow and the... brownies were so moist. I made a small change in recipe though. After reading several of the reviews that expressed it was very sweet (some say too sweet) I opted with 1 and half cups of sugar instead of 2. Was perfect!!! Would make them again anytime. Thanks Paula for a hit! VictoriaRead more
