I am hands-down a chocolate dessert lover, but I have a special place in my heart for all things lemon. 🙂 My mom has been making these lemon bars for a long time and she always gets requests to bring them to parties or showers. They are my favorite lemon bar ever- I think it’s the lemon frosting on top. If you are a lemon-lover like myself, you have to give these a try!
