Easy - Cheesecake Lemon Bars

Recipe was found on the side of a box of Pillsbury Moist Supreme Lemon Cake Mix. I debated about posting, as there are similar recipes already in the Zaar database that use powdered sugar instead of the canned frosting in the cheesecake layer. I prepared these as a quick, last minute offering for Hubby to take to a local function, and didn't get to taste myself. However, he told me that my pan was one of the first things empty on the dessert table. I hope that means they were good.

    I made a pan of these to bring to a pot-luck dinner and they were a huge hit. I loved the lemon flavor in the base & in the topping. I have made the version that calls for powdered sugar instead of icing, but I think I prefer these as they don't seem to be quite as sweet as the powdered sugar version. Very simple to throw together and no one knows it starts from a cake mix - they all thought it was a "scratch" recipe. Thanks for posting this recipe, Ms Bold!
