How to make Jello Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Mix together the cake mix, jello mix, eggs, water and oil. Beat on medium speed until well blended.
- Spray a 9 × 13 inch glass pan with non-stick spray and pour your batter into pan
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- As soon as you remove it from the oven, poke holes all over the cake with the end of a wooden spoon.
- Prepare the icing while the cake is cooking so you can pour the icing over the cake while it is still warm out of the oven.
Storage Suggestions
If you manage to have any leftover Bars + Brownies, these can store well if prepped appropriately. Once they have cooled completely, here is how you can store it:
- Counter: Store bars and brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If your kitchen is particularly warm, consider refrigerating instead to prevent them from getting too soft or melty.
- Refrigerator: Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Freezer: To freeze, make sure bars and brownies are completely cooled and unfrosted. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap (or Press & Seal) and then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. For easier portioning, wrap individual squares before freezing. Don’t forget to label with the date. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.
